    Viprati horn stem - maintenance?

    I thought wormholes was just a description for bite marks. I'm guessing having the previous bite marks polished out didn't help the durability... Thanks

    Viprati horn stem - maintenance?

    I have a Luigi Viprati pipe that I've had terrible luck with. First I managed to scratch the rim with a paper towel while wiping some tar build up with, and now I discover I have a giant chip near the button of my horn stem (I don't bite my stem, so not even sure how it got chipped, maybe banged...

    Are You Over-Drying Your Tobacco?

    Does rehydrating over dry tobaccos bring back flavor, or once it's gone it's gone?

    What Have You Cellared the Longest?

    What would you consider the ideal age? I have some of the butera version I forgot about

    Eltang Basic Vs Nording Compass Vs Eltang Poker

    Is the carbon fiber shaft exposed to the heat, or is it set back a bit? Don't really want to be smoking epoxy

    Packing a Pipe...

    Does gravity fill only work when tobacco is dry? The tobacco seems too springy to go in on it's own unless it's crispy

    Undemanding Blends

    I must be gravity filling wrongly. You literally drop the strands in, push the ends into the pipe and light? How finely do I need to rub them out? It always feels too springy unless I jam it in

    Dark Star

    Metal walled pipe and a torch? I have some of the butera version waiting for the right day. I remember wasting a whole tin of dark star and getting only one or two good bowls. I dried it til it got hard, but it didn't really peel apart either. I'll definitely try the cube cut

    Getting Consistently Good Experiences With FVF

    I found a "tobacco shop" that had 5-6 year old tins of fvf. Smoked it fine and was so good. Bought a box and used up a lot trying to get it to burn... How fine do you have to rub it out? I feel like it's chunky and doesn't compress together well leaving me with air pockets that don't stay lit

    Does Savinelli Offer The Most Extensive Selection?

    When did savinelli start making pipes? I really wish they didn't default to 6mm, the adapter isn't a solution I like. Love 70s savinellis, though. Love their shape catalog, and if I could get a 504/121/904 with flawless briar I'd be the happiest dude.

    Smoking Savinelli Filter Pipes Without Filter: Adapter or Not?

    Not a fan of modern savinellis because the adapter is okay at best, and I hated cleaning the chamber if I didn't use it. Cobs without adapters are way too open for me as well

    What is Happening to the Rim of My New Pipe?

    I had a rossi from the era where the finished just straight up bubbled off. You'd think savinelli would get pipe finishing down after how many years in business?

    What's The Rap On The Bulldog Shape?

    My favorite pipe shape - love edges and the diamond shank. They have to have a saddle stem, though
