    New Meer Pipe from Ahmet, and some information about meer pipe

    Actually this is not really a new pipe, just relatively new in my collection. Back to the day when there was a meerschaum pipe company (name started with S), the owner liked to say his meerschaum was coming from a special village and was better than other meerschaum. Believe me or not, that...

    Lucite, Amber, Bakelite Stem restoration

I have a few new purchased meerschaum pipes whose stems are filled with a lot of tar. Is there a good way to remove those substance easier and allow...

    Pipe Holder... How About This?

    I have heard many people mentioning a nice pipe holder is very expensive. Have anyone thought about using a test tube holder as a pipe holder? With a little or even no modification, this test tube holder should be able to work as a nice pipe holder. The price for this test tube holder is...

    Need some helps about the tobaccoreviews.com

    When I am searching/reading the posts on tobaccoreviews.com, I always have some confusions on the different between "taste" and "strength". Actually are they related to each other or they are describing things that are totally different? Can someone use the H&H "Larry's Blend" and McClelland...

    Recent purchase from eBay (Vintage? Missouri)

    Recently saw that on eBay. It was very nice and cheap, so I bought it. Today, after I open the parcel, I find out that this pipe is....strange. Can someone please tell me what kind of filter is that and why is this corncob pipe looks so strange? :worship:

    Cant stop thinking this after shopping at Whole Foods....

    I believe many of you have been to Whole Foods. You can see a lot of "organic food" which they claim to be "better than the non-organic food". If that is true that organic food is more tasty and healthier than normal food, will there be "organic tobacco" in the future 8O? If there is organic...

    My meer pipe review (not Storient)

    Since everyone is now a fan of Storient, I hope I won't be killed by posting a non Storient Meer pipe review here. :puffy: After smoking with it for 7 bowls, I think it would be safe to say I have no problem with its quality (no cracks or any other kind damages). It come with a push/pull tenon...

    A 2 parts questions

    First of all, thank you for those very helpful reply on my last post "Needing help with smoking English blend". I have tried the "wait for some hours" and found that very useful (although I tried that on another blend called "Cerberus", but I think the idea should be the same). Now questions...

    A post for all using/thinking about using Dremel as the polishing tool

    I found something that work very well when applying/polishing Carnauba Wax with Dremel tool. 1 inch Soft Felt Wheel or On eBay I have been using that for a few polishing (bowl and stem) and I personally find the result very satisfying. The only 2 problems I have with it are: 1.) I can only...

    Needing help with smoking English blend....

    I mostly smoke aromatic tobacco but now I kind of get bored with it.... And I want to try something different. Recently I purchased a tin of Hearth & Home Marquee Magnum Opus (a lot of positive review on tobaccoreviews.com). I am not sure is that because I don't like Latakia or what. I find...

    Some bitching about recent visit to a Chinese Pipe Forum.....

    Since I am from Hong Kong (sad to say Hong Kong is part of China....), I wonder how Chinese people think about smoking pipe. And that's why I visited a Chinese pipe forum.... After reading a few posts right there, I felt very sad and angry..... Different people (have less than 6 months...

    Question about the marking on pipe stem.

    I recently purchased a Hardcastle pipe from ebay. I believe someone had tried to restore it and the restoration was done poorly. The white color of the "H" on the stem was gone. I am wondering is there anyway for me to recolor/restore it? If yes, what should I use? Thanks

    Anyone has any experience with meerschaumpipemaster.com?

    The price seems very reasonable (actually relatively cheap comparing to other famous meer pipe). I am attracted by its art work and price (the eagle claw). Planning to get one. But before that, anyone has ever heard about it or has bought one already? The one I am interested in (IEC 26)...

    Anyone know a good alcohol flavored aromatic tobacco?

    Hi! I personally like alcohol flavored (Rum, Bourbon, Irish mist/cream, etc. but not Whisky). Can someone give me some recommendation on that? I have done some research online and found that most of them are only available in tin and relatively expensive (compare to bulk). Thanks

    Tips for polishing with Dremel

    I have just received a bar of carnauba wax today. After my first few trails, I find that the stem is still dull (not as shine as those I have seen in youtube). Can someone give me some tips on polishing pipe? Is Tripoli a must in polishing stem or bowl? What kind of wheel will give me a...

    Question about tobacco type

    I think this may have been asked many times. How does the type of tobacco (Burley, Cavendish, Virginia, etc) affecting the taste of smoke? Personally I like aromatic or sweeter taste. Should I avoid some type of tobacco? Is there certain type of tobacco gives/makes better aromatic tobacco...
