Funeral For A Pipe

[uberam3rica]

I smoked my first pipe the other day, and was reminded why I haven't smoked it in a long time. It didn't smoke good at all. Plus it's almost impossible to get a pipe cleaner through it. Its one of those really cheap pipes that aren't briar. So I think that I'm going to cremate it.
Here is the pipe in question.

 

[tokerpipes]

It looks nice, but I can see why no pipe cleaner would fit through it. Whats it made of?

 

[batdemon]

So, what is it made of? If you do cremate it, I would suggest saving the stem. Never know when you could use it in the future. It doesn't look like something that would smoke very well.

 

[tokerpipes]

I would keep the ferul too. Never know when you might get a gracked shank that it could work on.

 

[uberam3rica]

I have no Idea what is made of. I think I remember someone saying it could be walnut.It looks nice,but its really cheap.Its not even as good as a Grabow Its hard to to get a pipe cleaner through it because of the draft hole, it wasn't drilled well. The brand is Lucienne, not to be confused with Luciano.

 

[tokerpipes]

Redrill the hole? Maybe you could Turn it into a Lamp. :rofl:

 

[uberam3rica]

redrill the hole? Maybe you could Turn it into a Lamp

That would be a pretty small lamp.
I'll keep The ferule, but not the stem. The stem is really wide, and isn't like the stems for my other pipes. I'll get a picture up in a minute

 

[uberam3rica]

Thats a pipe next to it so you can see the size.

 

[cortezattic]

I don't understand why you would want to destroy it. Just toss it in a drawer and forget about it.

After all, it's not like you have to feed it... :lol:

 

[tokerpipes]

Or give it away to a newby. They always like free stuff...lol. Even if it is crap. :rofl:

 

[jchaplick]

Do what you think is right, maybe cremate and keep the ashes haha, you never know, you might wish you had kept it if you get rid of it, your decision

 

[uberam3rica]

Just toss it in a drawer and forget about it.

That takes up space. It'snot gonna get used, might as well let it go out with a bang

 

[uberam3rica]

you might wish you had kept it if you get rid of it

I might, I don't know. The only thing that has kept me from getting rid of it was that it was my first pipe, but it smokes for crap

 

[jchaplick]

Its that first pipe part that is the kicker, granted I dont dont have my first pipe, it was garbage, and I dont know anyone else who still has hers either

 

[uberam3rica]

it was garbage

Mine is too. It just takes up space

 

[jchaplick]

Hey man, do what youd like, I cant say I would keep it, I have my first briar pipe, the first one I bought myself anyway, I was given one but it is full of cracks, still have it, just probably not going to keep it. I consider my wally frank bulldog my first real pipe, and thats the one I keep close

 

[uberam3rica]

This is my first briar, and my second pipe.Cost me $75.It's got a huge bowl

 

[uberam3rica]

Well its really hard to clean. It's hard to get a pipe cleaner through it. How do I clean it if I can't get a pipe cleaner through it?

 

[mlaug]

Any aerosol type cleaner like Arango's Pipe Spray would clean it. Spray and dump. Let dry. Smoke it.

 

[jchaplick]

I can tell you like full bents haha
