What Pipe Is Your Favorite?
At first, I didn't think I would be the kind of person that favors a particular type of pipe. I seemed to be drawn to all types, even if my wallet couldn't handle it. For sure, I was gathering a collection of tobacco, because it seemed to me that would be the area in which my sensitivities would...- smokinginquirer

Removing the Tenon
This is more of a modification post than a repair post, and I'll probably get flak for this. I prefer using filters in my pipes.

A Cob Is a Cob Is a Cob...Maybe?
So I picked up a dirt cheap, nothing special corn cob as a placeholder smoker for when my other pipes are resting. Or, I've used it when traveling if I didn't feel like risking my briar. It seems there are some people with a good amount of enthusiasm for corn cobs, and I've seen cobs listed as...- smokinginquirer

Relatively new smoker. Over the past few years, I've used a plain straight cob and bent Dublin style briar. I take generally good care of them, but recently have made an effort to read up on more thorough care and cleaning procedures so as to ensure a fresher pipe. I recently bought my third...- smokinginquirer
