    Stem Oxidation

    I want to say this happened because it got left in the sunlight for too long, but I'm not too sure. I've seen people suggest leaving the stem in oxiclean and buffing the hell out of it, but I'm not so sure. What do you guys reccomend?

    Making My Own Clay Pipes

    As I have recently moved out of the People's Republic of California and acquired a decent plot of land with my friends, I am determined to start some projects while I waste time at college thanks to my GI Bill. The project I am presently most concerned with, as this title suggests, is making...

    Amateur Review of Seattle Evening by Seattle Pipe Club

    I first smoked this blend when I was just getting started on pipe smoking during my first deployment. Someone in the cigar club had left a large tin in the humidor and I decided to try it alongside one poor Airman my fellow Marines relentlessly picked on. I liked it so much I took the tin back...

    New Little Pipe from the Sanctuary in SLO

    I finally got to spend a little quality time with my dad, and part of that time was spent paying a visit to the store that started it all, the Sanctuary Tobacco Shop in San Luis Obispo, CA. I didn't see Doug there, but I did immediately spot a little pipe I decided I wanted to have, and picked...

    Trusted Pipe Repairmen?

    While it still smokes fine, I figure it is only a matter of time before hairline cracks turn into a broken stem. It probably happened during my last move, but my Lorenzo Spitfire has a messed up stem. Who do you guys trust to send a pipe into for a refit and repair, because I quite like this...

    Amateur Review of Missouri Meerschaum Missouri Pride

    I've smoked this blend on and off for a bit. When I first opened the pouch, I was a tad dismayed because it looked to me that it was too dry to be any good. However, transferring it to a jam jar and smoking more in better conditions has changed that perception, and I'd say it's just about...

    A Brief Respite With My Pipe

    I tend to overthink, and since I'm close to leaving my current job, I've been thinking a hell of a lot more than is probably good for me. It's nights like this that I'm glad I took up this hobby, because I can slow down a lot better. My best pipe is actually the 2nd one I ever got my hands on...

    Hairline Crack in Meerschaum

    Luckily it doesn't look more than superficial and hopefully won't affect the smoke, but I'm a little curious if there's a way to make that go away or ignore it. I'll admit I was probably smoking the poor thing too hot, but didn't notice till it was too late as I try not to touch the bowl l, lest...

    Cadence

    I've been thinking of what the best cadence to my smoking is, just trying to get more enjoyment out of the tobacco that way and not just puffing through it out of stress. Is it better to do a few shallow puffs every minute or so or longer draws at about the same interval? I understand there's a...

    Low Dunhill Tin Pice @ TobaccoPipes.com

    Being a selfish person, I made my purchase of a few( :lol:) tins before telling everyone else here. Most tins are under $10 right now and since I've never tried most of these, I'm happy to snag a bunch up. Anyway not to add more fuel to the fire of buying stuff up thanks to the lousy busybodies...

    Sanctuary Tobacco, San Luis Obispo B&M

    Whenever I go home I make it a priority to get my happy a$$ over to them. The owner, Doug, is a great guy and I'm not just saying that because my first pipe and tobacco came from him. While I didn't get to run into him during my first visit, the man who's name I didn't catch was a big help...

    Long Time Lurker

    As the title says, I registered this account a long time ago, my deployment last your to be exact, and I've just now gotten the nerve to try and contribute to the forum here. I started pipe smoking on that previous deployment, but I had messed around with my late paternal grandfather's pipe...
