    Pipetool.com issues?

    Curious if anyone knows something about the site having problems. For some reason my login is not working at Pipetool, and when I try 'reset password' it just goes to a blank page and I don't get an email.

    Do You Smoke a Pipe For:

    To me it a perfect mix of ritual, futzing with stuff, collecting, nerding out on flavors, but the biggest payoff is relaxation and contemplation. I think many of us probably associate pipes with a comfortable hominess and simpler times. It's why Lord of the Rings, the Shire and all that...

    Favorite aromatic flavor

    I've been disappointed by a lot of vanilla, much of it has a weird fruit flavor. Rum on the other hand always tastes the same.

    Favorite alcohol for pipe cleaning/sweetening

    Great topic. I use Captain Morgan spiced rum to wipe the mouth piece and clean airway after each smoke. Leaves a great flavor for the first few minutes of the smoke, then disappates.

    Commission question

    Where I think it's tough is if you ask for a "billiard like the one you made for xyz," but it ends up different enough that it's bordering on being more of maybe an apple or pot.

    Commission question

    Agreed. Expecting an exact copy of something is bound to leave someone unsatisfied. That's what factories are for.

    Commission question

    Yeah, I know these artisans work hard and aren't getting rich, so I hesitate to ask for a redo.

    Commission question

    I sent a picture of one of his previous pipes and said I want a pipe like that with the same shape. Probably my fault for not saying "as close to that as you can do." But like Hawkeye said, it could be that the pic is just how it looks at THAT stage. I didn't know prepaying wasn't standard...

    Commission question

    I arranged and prepaid for a custom pipe commission. I had sent the maker a picture of one of his previous pipes and wanted one similar. Later he sent me a picture of the shaped stummel. It looks well executed and I know I can't expect it to be identical, but the shape is a bit off from the...
