    Favorite Sutliff Private Stock blends?

    Bosphorus Cruise & Court of St. James are my top two but I find most of their "natural" blends pretty good, the aros not so much.

    Peterson Nickel Mount Comes Off

    If you want to repair it once use epoxy not "super glue"/CA glue, it's brittle when cured, if the bond is flexed/stressed it will pop loose again, epoxy on the other hand has some elasticity after curing and would give a much stronger bond., rough up the wood and inside of the cap with some...

    Aging Sutliff?

    I enjoy a great many of Sutliff's more natural offerings, it's definitely not low quality leaf, makes me wonder how many of their blends Cosmicfolklore has actually tried.

    AND Meerschaum Purchase & Pipe Review...

    OK guys, gotta do a update after several smokes, found some issues I didn't see at first, I was mistaken about the drilling, I guess it was the white on white that made it appear flush with bottom after a few smoke it was evident that it is drilled about 1/16" low also it will not pass a pipe...

    AND Meerschaum Purchase & Pipe Review...

    First I would like to say this is not a negative review, we are talking about a $60 meerschaum pipe, the pipe is by no means perfect but I still think it was a good value and you get what you pay for. I know a lot of you have been looking at AND Meerschaum with skepticism, well here is my honest...

    Looking For a New Pipe-Need Help- Peterson Spigot?

    Ferndown by Les Wood makes so nice silver spigots, you have to know where to go for them though some places think they are Dunhill's and price them as such, mostly American shops.

    Bending A Falcon Bit, Can It Be Done?

    I only did a very slight alteration to the bend, the inner tube is press fit at both ends and is paper thin, I can see that too much bending my result in kinking of the inner tube, use caution :)

    Bending A Falcon Bit, Can It Be Done?

    Thanks for all the advice guys, I have come to the conclusion that the nylon Falcon bits do not reshape, instead I lessened the bend in the aluminum shank a little with success.

    Bending A Falcon Bit, Can It Be Done?

    Tried that first (boiling water) with the same line of reasoning in mind, no effect at all.
