PAD

[craig61a]

1996 Peterson XL02 Sterling Silver I picked up recently. I may have another laying around somewhere…

This is in good shape externally, but the chamber has been reamed out lowering the floor and exposing the draft hole on the rear of the chamber.

Rather than return it, I chose to “rebuild” the chamber, using activated charcoal and waterglass to build up the bottom of the chamber. Once it has dried I shape the bottom and redrill the airway. This allows the tobacco to burn evenly down the chamber.

I have a Savinelli 601 Churchwarden that had a rough chamber as well so that got the treatment too.

Chiming in with my most recent acquisitions:

Vauen Duett 171 Smooth bent egg View attachment 368931

Tsuge Sandblasted Bent Dublin with Bamboo (362) View attachment 368933

My most recent pipe is the exact same model as the Tsuge here. Great pipe but I really need to smoke it a few more times to really break it in. Do you smoke it with the filter?

Nice!

I do not use filters in my pipes except for one that’s reserved for Mac Baren blends. I need to get an adapter at some point for this one.

I thought you were done buying pipes. What tempted you from across the pond?

Going to try make it a handle for my gun cabinet door and it was half the price of the same pipe from SPC.

I had a couple things via USPS last week that got hung up in Indianapolis even though Indy was in no way en route…
