K. Yeah, I was gonna use Lepage's contact cement. I've never had good luck with epoxies, even without making a big finger out of two.
Q-tips, toothpicks, and popsicle sticks are your friends when working with epoxy.
2nd that because I think every pipe smoker should have at least one falcon set. Which is one stem and two bowls minI use Falcons when I'm out in the campo...tough as old boots and cheap, so no big loss if they get lost. The fancy briars stay in the house.
An old climbing mate of mine in Scotland once proudly showed off a lanyard he fashioned for his pipe...didn't last long as he got fed up with it getting in his way.
That's a protected federal wetland now so you have to leave it as is.
Never had a Falcon. Why would you need two bowls? They have a dry ring so they stay dry, does that work?2nd that because I think every pipe smoker should have at least one falcon set. Which is one stem and two bowls min
You mean like for a harmonica? I could see that, with a built in lighter also!
Just curious, what didn't you like about them, besides the aesthetics? I've never had one.
I had one quite a while ago. I found the chambers to be quite small, and they feel a bit cheap to me, particularly the plastic stem. I didn’t end up smoking it much and traded it in for store credit at SmokingPipes.com shortly after.
I recently bought a H Wiebe radiator pipe which is a similar concept with exchangeable bowls and like that one much better.
Wow! Those Wiebe pipes are certainly distinctive. Remind me of a Porsche pipe I once saw. Thanks for the info!
This is definitely the pipe for the job.

If you're doing an activity that press your pipe at serious risk, that's why they make $10 cobs.
They're a great pipe for the price and you need two bowls because you can switch them when you want so why not have two. The dry ring is basically just a filter and mostly useless unless you like filters. The humidome does work to keep the chamber mostly dry though so.
Put some Velcro on the pipe and stich some to your shirt. That's what I do when I go Spiderman LARPing.
Thank you for your ideas and comments - many more than I expected.
Quite a few recommended using an affordable/expendable pipe, like a corn cob, or a hardier option like a Falcon. Others suggested building or modifying a pipe to attach a rope or lanyard. Some also suggested purpose-build pipes like a J.M. Boswell Fishing Vest, or a short pipe with a lanyard and a cover.
Based on this feedback for starters I'm going to use a cob and rig it with a lanyard of sorts to see if its practical. And I'll be looking for a Boswell (which I guess are only available as a NOS/Estate).

I want twelve of those on a bandolier crossing my chest, for a full day's rotation
