    How is rustication done in pipe factories?

    Wait, I'll explain better: let's say that the pipemaker does not guarantee you the smooth pipe "no fills", but - in theory - it could be lucky and come to the first; in that case, if he has luck with the briar, he will make it smooth. Otherwise you'll take it as it comes :mrgreen: So it is...

    How is rustication done in pipe factories?

    I obviously talk to you about my experience: if you order a "made-to-measure" pipe, then with a shape chosen by you, to a craftsman, he will make it sanded or ashlar, but never smooth. If you also look at all the "pipes of the year" commissioned by the various forums of the sector, these are...

    How is rustication done in pipe factories?

    It is simply a market law. A perfect briar, without impurities, without stuccoing, is rarer and more beautiful, and therefore has greater value on the market. A sanded or rusticated pipe, although it needs more work, is less coveted by buyers, has less appeal, so it costs less. In an...

    Best Peterson Shape for Flakes

    Leaving aside the banality that any tobacco can smoke in any pipe, I find it better to smoke flakes (not crumbled) in pipes chimney. This is because the brazier has a smaller surface and the smoke is governed better. The whole flakes, in fact, burn worse. But usually the flakes I crumble them...

    1956 Dunhill Shell -- FREE -- Pay Shipping

    How much is shipping, 200 $? :mrgreen: Returning serious, for me that burn would not be a problem because I never smoke up to the bottom of the bowl.

    Ser Jacopo

    Apart from the irritating response of Ser Jacopo, I believe that no dealer would change a faulty pipe that has already been smoked. The only exception is when a pipe is bitter or with a bad taste, because this is a defect that you can only understand after smoking it. In these cases, a serious...

    Very beautiful. I use pots with lighter, less tasty tobaccos, as they help me to perceive the aromas better.

    For the Savinelli lovers like myself

    I absolutely agree on everything. But in Italy there are other alternatives on 100 €. I'm talking about emerging artisans. If you find the good one you can have a pipe made to measure (you tell him how you want it) entirely made by hand and without filter. Sandblasted pipes, obviously, not...

    i droped my pipe in water

    It probably gives another boil to the root plaques to eliminate the tannins well. then I think it will start another drying period, after which the plate will be ready to be sold.
