    Fix for discoloured stem

    So, I ran a bit of alcohol through the stem to clean it, and a drop or two got on the outside of it and left a big discoloured stain on it. I believe that is oxidation, if I am not mistaken, and I wanted to know what is something to fix it, and bring back the shine on the stem? Thank you guys!

    Commuter/Outside Smoking

    Wanted just a quick tackle on how all of you commute or just simply take walk with your pipe. Since I've always been a "home smoker", and also I rely a lot on the means of transportation to go everywhere, I always had the thought of how do you light, if you put it in a bag or in the pocket...

    Long term storage

    Hello everyone, Recently I cut down on smoking, simply just because of no time available. I have 4 open tins of Petersons about halfway smoked and opened for over a year. They're stored in jars, but the jars weren't too quality, so the tobacco is dried. I was thinking about sealing the tobacco...

    Old Stanwell Repair/Restoration

    I got my hands today on an old Stanwell pipe. Engraving on the side says Stanwell Buffalo. I posted some pics as well. The midpiece of the stem comes off so I think it's got unglued. My question is if this pipe can be restored (there are some cracks inside and outside too) to be smoked for some...

    Tins or jars?

    Bought some tins last week and couldn't resist the temptation to open every one of them. Here I come to ask if it can be sealed again (obviously not factory-like sealing) or if it has to be transferred to a jar. Like do gou keep anything at all inside the tin?

    How does a clean pipe smell?

    I've been around here asking about cleaning routines etc. And I understand that since you're burning something inside something else, it will always gonna smell charred, smoky, burnt, or whatever else. Now what I want to know is how to make a pipe bowl not smell. Like is it possible to clean it...

    I don't know where to find that kind of news so I came to you my friends. Have you heard about any new Christmas blends that will be out soon? Are there any blends that reappear every year during the festive days?

I'm thinking of buying some Peterson tobacco specifically Nightcap, Sherlock Holmes, Early Morning Pipe and My mixture 965. I want some insights on these and also, if you think I should skip...

    Airports - Traveling with pipes and tobacco (Europe)

    Don't know if it is the right thread but I have two questions. I plan on traveling from Greece to Germany some time this year. And my questions are if I am allowed to take my pipe and pipe tools with me and also if I can bring pipe tobacco with me. Probably there is some regulation to it, but...

    Blocked Pipe

    Hello fellers! My very first has started to clog. I decided to smoke a bowl and after a little while something clogged it. I had to leave it cool and poke it with the Czech tool through the shank to remove some debris and it felt softish kind of like wet wood. Anyone ever experienced the same...

    What Do You Smoke??

    This goes a little further. What do you smoke, and by that I mean what other means of smoking do you utilise? For me, I love pipes and cigars, but sometimes, just for this quick smoke taste I'd smoke a cigarette or cigarillo. Disclaimer: I thought of adding that, when I'm smoking cigarettes I...

    About Filters

    I don't know if the majority of you smokes with a filter or not. I own two pipes both of them with the classic charcoal filters. Do you guys swap the filters after each smoke or keep them for a second or even third? Also, has anyone out there used a pipe that has a filter without it?

    Chipped Chamber Wall

    Title changed. Caps for all important words, please. (Rule 9) Is a chipped chamber wall bad? It's not a hole it seems just like a tiny piece of the chamber's colour has chopped of. Can I fix it somehow? It will fix itself when you smoke it. Just a bit of coating has come off.

    Too Tight Packing

    The importance of a perfect pack has been discussed many times, but what happens and what do you do when you've packed a bowl tighter and lit it? Obviously, you have burnt some of the tobacco and you can't go all from scratch. Is there any technique to "save" the pack and still go on to smoke it...

    Preventing Hot Smoke

    Quick question, in order to prevent a hot bowl, is it better to dry your tobacco? As far as I understand if you dry your tobacco it doesn't burn hot and it stays lit longer am I right?

    General Beginner Tips

    I think that I'm around my second month of pipe smoking and thus far it is a very delightful experience for me and I'm coming across some questions. 1. How do you guys store your tobacco? Do you have more than one blend ready to smoke? For now I'm storing mine in their pouches. 2. Should...

    Sour Taste

    So, I recently changed my tobacco and I noticed every draw has a sour taste. It leaves a bad taste on my tongue at first and it fells funny/sour. Now I've smoked Mac Baren Classic until last week and I bought Skandinavik Sungold. I don't know if this is due to the tobacco or if my pipe needs a...
