Broken Stem
I have a Nording freehand that I dropped in my bedroom a couple of days ago. Although it landed on carpet, the stem struck a jar on its way to the floor snapping off the tenon in the shank. Is there a way to get this piece out of the mortis in the shank without causing damage to the draft hole...- billjohnso20

Corn Cob/Briar Chimera Pipes
Okay, several years ago on Ebay, I came across an interesting item that I should have purchased but the price was prohibitive. It was a full display card with pipes I had never seen to that point in my life nor since. The pipes were a chimera with briar on the outside but corn cob on the inside...- billjohnso20

Peterson Ready Rubbed Tobacco
I was a latecomer to Dunhill blends because I generally prefer aromatics. I purchased a couple of tins of Dunhill's Ready Rubbed Pipe Tobacco when P&C had it on clearance a couple of years or so ago. Although it is technically not an aromatic, the subtle vanilla and the natural grass notes with...- billjohnso20

Scarcity of Certain Pipe Tobaccos
I studied economics extensively in my undergraduate work as I earned a degree in Secondary Education in History and the Social Sciences.

Clay Pipe Questions
I've started looking at traditional clay pipes. I know that these handcrafted pipes come with either varnishes or unvarnished bits and the why of it. I have numerous pipes from briar to meerschaum to corn cob to pear but my collection won't be complete without a traditional German/German-type...- billjohnso20

Empty Tins
What do y'all do with empty tins? It seems like a waist to just throw them out and it takes decades for empty tins/cans to have any value. I can see a few uses like holding screws, in tackle boxes, in tool boxes, etc. But beyond those uses, I can't think of anything else.- billjohnso20

Peterson Questions
I have four Peterson pipes (2 are standard system pipes and 2 are deluxe system pipes). Of the four, three are restored estate pipes and one is a new standard system pipe but all have/had the same problem; they taste(d) horribly acrid 20 minutes into each bowl. I tried several things like...- billjohnso20

Hello
I just joined and wanted to say, "Hello." I have returned to pipe smoking after a cigar binge that lasted 24 years now that I have changed my lifestyle to one that allows me the time needed to enjoy 1-2 hour smokes. I have had to relearn somethings as well as learn somethings that are new to me...- billjohnso20
