Meerschaum Pipe - Damaged or Just Coloring?
The dragon that you see pouncing on a mug of coffee in my picture is actually a rather massive meerschaum carved and signed by M. Cinir that I obtained directly from Turkey. The coloring is a stain applied by the artist (it’s never been smoked). So you can obtain a nicely colored pipe without...- gatorlope

Filters....
I recently bought a collection of used pipes that included 5 “magic inch” pipes and a couple of boxes of filters. The first time I’ve ever tried them and I’m quite pleased with the results.- gatorlope

Softy-bits Alternative
I like the Softy brand name bits, partly because they’re American made. I’ve had some of the others from China or elsewhere in Asia, but I’m dubious about their chemical composition and quality control, so I’m switching over any time I come across one of the old ones.

How Does Smoking Affect Your Sleep?
I’ve been collecting pipes since the early ‘70s, but have only become a regular smoker in the last year. Prior to that my sleeping habits were already irregular simply due to my getting older, retiring and trashing my alarm clock. I’ve always had strange and vivid dreams to the point that I keep...- gatorlope

What Do You Re-Purpose
There are at least ten things in this photo that are being reused/recycled in one way or another. I included the Clipper lighter because, unlike the Bic lighters, it is refillable and reusable.- gatorlope

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
welcome to the club! I’ll be a septuagenarian myself next month! After sixty plus years of being a relative non smoker, I gave up on trying to persuade my sister to give up smoking and decided to put some serious mileage on the pipes that I have been collecting for the past fifty years! Btw...- gatorlope

Nicotine Absorption: Cigarettes vs Pipes (Science Alert!)
Looked at some of your source material. What I found especially interesting is that there is no mechanical substitute to measure nicotine absorption. More or less related to that is the relative ineffectiveness of low tar, low nicotine tobaccos, because people just adjust their smoking habits to...- gatorlope
