Cool! That's a really nice looking meer estate at a great price(I believe that is the one you were saying was $59 at the smokingpipes.com website).

 

[mrgunnar177]

Yup it is!

 

[mp31guitar]

NICE!

 

[mrgunnar177]

Yup! Only bad thing is the stem is loose like when it's completely on I can turn the bowl 360 degrees.

 

[photoman13]

Wow nice score. Is it a good smoker? Does it differ from your briar in any way?

 

[weezell]

You could probably send it to someone for a fairly inexspensive fix for that loose stem.

 

[mrgunnar177]

It's a great smoking pipe. Cool and smooth and a huge bowl! Compared to my briars...hmm well I'd say about the same draw wise as most of my briars. Weight it's a bit heavier. Smokes cooler and I get a better flavor from it.

I'll have to look into someone fixing it for me.

Cheers

Gunnar

I have used this to fix loose stems on some of the estates I purchased in the past. I applied an even, paper thin layer, barely any at all, onto the tenon of the stem. Allow it to dry, and carefully slide it into the shank of the bowl. It should be a fraction tighter but not too tight. If you use too much you can always sand some off. I do stress, use barely any at all, especially with Meerschaum. Someone more experienced may have better advise but this has worked just fine for me. You can pick it up at Walmart or Lowes for under 5 bucks.

Very nice i love that style

Is that a tendon or screw on stem ? The old cajun

 

[cigrmaster]

Great looking pipe at a hell of a price. Enjoy!

 

[mrgunnar177]

well it looks like plastic and it screws into the stem and that then screws into the pipe.
Thanks!

 

[gwtwdbss]

Since it is a screw on type, you may want to apply some epoxy to the threads, then screw it in, then immediately unscrew it, allow to dry and you should be good to go. Maybe Storient or someone with more expertise with screw on stems will see this and have some better advise. Good luck!
