    Stem Over-Rotated

    Anyone know how to de-rotate a Grabow adjustomatic stem? I have an 84 wire finish that needs work. the biggest issue I see is the stem over-rotates when threading by maybe 10 degrees. I think the threaded portion in the stem itself is rotating but I haven't been able to de-rotate it the...

    Anyone Else Watch the Rifleman?

    I started watching this on some obscure channel on weekends. Just found amazon prime has every season included. Fantastic show. The photography is fantastic. Probably the best lighting of almost any black and white shows I've seen. Plus the episodes are very well written. The show predates...

    Grabow 06 Freehand volcano

    Does anyone have one or a good color pic of one? I'm eyeing one online but I only have found an old grabow shape chart to go by. The one I am looking at seems to have a straight stem but the shape chart looks like there should be a slight bend. As a matter of fact the straight stem just looks...

    MasterCraft stem disintegrated

    I picked this MasterCraft meerschaum lined up in a lot of estate pipes. The stem had a crack half its length which seemed to be fixable.

    first try Lane BS-005

    I rarely get time during the week for a bowl but I usually do if I am mowing or doing some other chores. Last night was mowing and BS-005 was the companion. This was my first sampling of BS-005 and, yes, it is a bomb. I enjoyed it very much but found it, at times, somewhat lacking. It was...

    Ive been looking at picking up a poker shape for a bit now. Ive also been looking at picking up a large imposing pipe, so I am now looking for a large poker shape. There is an HS Studio in morta on the bay right now that is very interesting (sort of a poker shape), but I am not yet sold on...

    C&D Izmir Turkish

    I've been trying to learn flavors so I picked up some straight tobacco's thinking of trying them straight and then experimenting by adding to blends I find flat. I recently tried C&D's Izmir Turkish straight and..... Nothing. Not good or bad just zero flavor. I jarred the 2oz when it came...
