Merry Christmas from New Zealand. I've been smoking pipes on and off since my university days...many moons ago now, and have decided to become more active. I'm looking forward to the discussions on this group. To start, I have a question: Some time ago I inherited a pipe from a relative. It's a Stanwell Sixtus 211 with an acrylic hexagonal stem and brass band. The problem is that the stem is loose. If it is partially pushed in it is tight but not so when fully inserted. Can anyone suggest a solution to fix this issue?
Many thanks
Peter

I can't help you with your question, but there are plenty of lovely, knowledgeable people here who can.

Bottom end of Ceredigion. About twenty minutes from New Quay.

Aha. I've been to Llangollen, singing at the Eisteffod in 1988 with the NZ Youth Choir and to Ruthin. Beautiful country. Dymuniadau gorau.

Thank you so much for that. It has improved it a lot...not entirely but much tighter.
