Grabow would probably replace the stem for free if you emailed them a link to this thread.

Then you could resume your stem rustication experiment.

In the meanwhile, +10 for smoking the bejesus out of a meerschaum!!

Do it for the children! ?

I do like that idea of them replacing the stem. However, that would be cheating. And I'm rooting for it to be done sooner than later. I miss my cobs.

And yeah maybe after this I'll have a talk with @weezell

Aha, I see. Just eat the stem, and you're done? Like a trapped animal gnawing its leg off to free itself? I think you should have to repair the stem if it gets too full of holes.
Hahahaha I needed a good laugh!

Nah I'll hang on to the stem no matter what. But when the briar splits, it's over lol.

So I just spoke to Debbie from the Dr Grabow company about getting another stem for my pipe.

She said they do offer lucite stems for most pipes. And they aren't overly expensive. However the only way to go about doing it is sending my pipe in to be fitted. Which is neat because then it will be official to my pipe. However that means weeks without it.

But now I know, and for my next Grabow I purchase, I'll consider a lucite stem.
