    Little bit of a let down this weekend

    Normally, if I clean up a pipe and there's a hole at the mouth end of the stem, I just cover it with a B.J. longs live rubber pipe bit and smoke away, but this break looks more serious. I bought a corteccia di Mauro Armellini for just $25 on eBay because it had a fine crack lengthwise in the...

    Flake packing methods?

    I rub out all flakes, which are mainly what I smoke, and don't dry them unless I can't get them lit. Too impatient, plus I like moist tobacco if I can get it to burn OK.

    I have been

    Right, R.C. Stan.. Small pipes for flakes because they burn cool and don't need such a thick bowl.

    Let's Have Some Fun! Tobaccos You HATE!

    Esoterica Margate and Reiner Green Label, both bought aged on EBay. The Reiner is the only tobacco I ever threw in the trash. The Margate is just boring. It needs some Virginia in it.

    Newbie Meer Cleaning Question

    I just bought a calabash meer from eBay, very nice but the bowl was stuck to the gourd. I wasn't about the get into a tug of war with a piece of block meerschaum and a delicate calabash II sent it back for a refund, which I got.

    Stonehenge

    We have a store near my house which we call the scotch museum. It has hundreds of them, some 500 dollars a bottle. But I love the single malts, the smoky ones like Laphroig and the smooth sweet ones too. Sock them to me Druid man with your Stonehenge bar.

    I Just Got The Deal Of The Century!!!

    Sometimes, I really love eBay! Most of the time, now that I have gotten some experience buying pipes. I recently bought a Corteccia di Mauro Armellini for $35.00, a beautiful pipe, but cheap because it had a thin crack in the stem not involving either end. I applied a line of superglue on the...

    I have two Savinelli Byron's choice, a sandblast and a smooth. But the bowls are small and for me they smoke hot.

    Did I salvage it? Opinions...

    That pipe will be a cool smoker.

    I'm almost sad

    It's often customs. I bet this pipe shows up after the long holiday weekend. Though customs hang ups can take time. I pay through PayPal on eBay. Does this mean I have buyer protection or do I have to sign up for it?
