Mr Brog Replacement Stems in the US?

[Brig]

Does anyone know a source for replacement Mr Brog stems? I like to smoke a #21 while doing yardwork and the stem tends to get beat up. I see the stems for sale directly from the maker, but overseas shipping doesn't seem worth it for a $5 replacement stem for a $30 pipe. Seems cheaper/easier to just replace the pipe every time.

Any leads to sources would be appreciated!

The stems are indeed a problem with Mr Brog pipes, I have 3 and all of them, very soon, had broken tenons.
Local carvers replaced them, so I still smoke them after many years.

I doesn’t seem worthwhile fiscally to get it restemmed unless it is a fantastic smoker or has great sentimental value.

I’d save the pennies and put it towards a better quality pipe.
Or get a cob - replacement stems are easy to find.
Just my 2 cents

Did you check Amazon? They seem to be a Mr. outlet.

I did. No stems or parts, which is what surprised me since they do sell a lot of the pipes

Try ebay. There are number of retailers that use ebay as a sales outlet, just like Amazon, for new goods. I just typed "tobacco pipe replacement stem" on that site and got lots of new products for very low prices. Good luck.

I too would go with investing 15 bucks in a cob, not just for the yard work but in general.

This is what I was going to say. Granted the only Mr. Brog pipe I had, was a "carve your own".

Id say he's better off without the stem at all. I hated the stem.

Yeah it seems like this isn't going get a new stem in a cost effective way. Is it a good smoker and is it sentimental? If so you might just have to pony up for a replacement stem from a repairman. On the plus side you'll a way more durable and comfortable stem which will likely make for a more enjoyable smoke.

It's a pretty good smoker, but it seems cheaper to just replace it when it breaks aI've done twice over the years already
