Can My Pipe Be Repaired / Salvaged?

[Smoke Queen]

Hello

I have this Savinelli pipe which broke and I'm wondering if it could still be repaired or not?
Can someone give me an idea of how much it could cost me to get it repaired and if it's worth it to try to get it repaired? When I put it back together you can't tell it's broken but it sure is ?

Thank you

I wouldn't bother. It would have to be done with a metal band, and while it may not be wildly expensive, neither is a new Savinelli.

Agree 100% with @workman . It can be. But not worth it. Unless the pipe has some sediment, even then probably still not .

If you LOVE the way it smokes, have Briarville throw a band on it and carry on...

well I have sentiment for all my pipes regardless... so, any broken pipe similar to this is not worth repairing? Just asking in case it happens again..

I do love all my pipes every single one of them that's why I asked ?

Zip tie

If the pipe smoke's so so and has no real emotional ties, can it. If it smokes like a champ ( even if was inexpensive when you bought it) fix it and smoke it ...

I would take that as a loss but not all is lost. If you ever take up collecting estate pipes it would be a good source for briar dust or a platform to try your hand at restaining.

Have considered duct tape and and one of those garden hose clamps?

That is fixable but as stated already probably not worth it unless you have a real bond with the pipe.
How did you break it?

Personally I would probably glue it back together and try to improvise a band of some sorts from that wire they sell for making jewelry (you can make a wire winding look half decent with a little practice), the previously mentioned zip tie, or even a small hose clamp.

I have made a crappy looking but functional band from copper pipe bits from Home Depot before too.

Here you go. Works every time on broken Dunhill pipes. I believe it is even recommended by the guys on the Red Green Show!

I like the Red Green reference lol

I may have dropped it and it cracked, I still smoked it with the crack and perhaps with the heat it finally broke ??

That’s completely up to you. At the end of the day it’s not a rare or collectible pipe. It’s common and can be replaced . If it’s holds some sediment to you then you have too decide.
