    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    I was going to wait for a full month, but I took the tobacco out of the press four days early. This is the press I used. It cost me 70 dollars if I remember correctly. This is the container I created to hold the tobacco during the pressing process. I described it in a previous post. It took...

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    My buddy says that I have to leave it for a month. So, first week in December I will smoke a bowl of it. I think that I will put most of it in a jar for some regular aging. anthony

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    Okay, Okay. I couldn't stand it. I have been listening to people talk about pressing their own tobacco. Got to try one person's efforts, even. So I was reading this thread last night and decided to go for it. I made it to the local Harbor Frieght about twenty minutes before closing and got...

    Do Wider Bowls Give More "Flavor?"

    All right. I have an idea. More smoke gives stronger flavor. Cooler smoke gives better flavor. Wider bowls offer the chance to create more smoke without heating up the result. anthony

    How Can I Re-Hydrate or Moisten Dry Tobacco?

    Open any tin of the notoriously wet matured, sliced tobbaccos and put it in the bag with the dried out tobacco. When the one is dry enough to smoke, they other will be moist enough to also smoke. anthony

    Does An Old Meerschaum Smoke Better?

    I think that you should snap that up if your description is accurate. Block meerschaum means it came out of the ground as a chuck - not scraps pressed (glued) into a usable stummel. If it is really more than a hundred years old, doesn't that mean that the stem is amber? If it is, and the only...

    Rosewood Warning

    Yes, Cocobolo is one of the rosewoods. African Blackwood is also. The rosewood family has "Dalbergia" in its latin name. While some are worse than others, they are all toxic. Lung and skin are the ways that it gets you. I have seen rosewood pipes. I have seen people smoke them. I have...

    Meerschaum Needs a Stem

    You have two distinct objects in the image you posted. The piece of meerschaum and the thing that you call a stem. The thing that you call the stem is actually made up of two parts (at least), the stem and the godet. It looks like the stem and godet are connected by a mortise and tenon joint...

    Meerschaum Needs a Stem

    The part of the picture that is important is the end of the godet - what you are calling the stem. There is little detail in the image when blown up. Are there threads on it? Or Is it smooth? If there are not, then it was likely fastend to the meerschaum with a bonding agent. The solution...

    Meerschaum Needs a Stem

    If it is the normal white plastic (nylon?) threaded into the shank mortise and threaded into the stem tenon, then you may be in luck. There are two standard sizes for those parts. It shouldn't be that tough to get the larger if yours is the small one. It may or may not solve your problem -...

    The Case of the Disappearing Tampers

    Maybe there is a related species of underwear gnomes - tamper gnomes, or the like. I solved the problem of losing tampers by buying fifty of them cheap on Ebay. I still have fifteen or so in a bag, and another thirty spread out here and there. I can almost always find one. anthony

    What Languages do You Speak?

    I think that it is interesting that the programming languages and transliterations, like morse code have been brought up. Usually they are not considered in the same class as natural languages. Different parts of the brain are used, I think. (There is some data that suggests that native...

    The Bean-Pot Shape

    Yeah, that's it. The only other one I saw had a round shank. I guess it had more flair at the top also. anthony

    Anthony Harris Ladel Pipe

    It is true, that wood moves in response to heat and moisture. It is also true, that the more wood there is, the more movement. This pipe is just the latest stab at the question, "just how big can I make these things?" I guess I have made a dozen or so of this type in the last five years...

    Ooops, Drilled Through the Bowl

    eJames has the right of this one. Turn a small dowl out of briar. Make certain that the grain runs straight the length of the dowel. The fit should be such that you can put in and take it out with your fingers, but NO slop. You could probably use any epoxy, but the slower curing is best...
