Love This Dirt

[pawpaw]

I just got my first clay pipes and i have to say i am loving them the smoke is very dry the taste of all my diffrent blends is wonderful they dont clench real well and i had to bee's wax the bit and i aint brave enuff yet to take em to the jobsite because i do not want to risk breaking them but i look foward to comming home and firing up my clay
and for hobie here is the pic

I enjoy clays myself, and own 5 of em. Dipping the bit end in a beer makes the dry clay a lil nore tolerable. There is a thread on this forum about using shrink wrap to seal the end as well, but I haven't tried it yet. I might also recommend a LePeltier Clay pipe, as they have vulcanite stems. Just myy 2 cents worth, lol. Enjoy!

Nice looking pipe, pawpaw. Do your clay pipes get hot? Can you hold them by the bowl?
Has anyone tried the Lepeltier Clay pipes? Some of the decorated ones made me think of aussielass.

 

[pawpaw]

the pipe gets hot but not so bad that i cant hold it and i normally hold it by the bowl but there are time i will grab the stem and even with the pipe hot the smoke is cool to the tounge

[pawpaw]

[pawpaw]

I've never owned or smoked a clay pipe. Can't seem to get past the plaster of paris look.
