Replacement Stems?

[Jeremiah Johnson]

I could probably search and find answers for this, but it may be best to make sure I get the current straight dope. I have a couple of pipes that I really like, but I'd just like them to be a bit longer, probably about an inch.

One is a straight Peterson 2020 Christmas pipe. It's not a bad length, probably about 5.5", but I'd like to try it with a slightly longer stem. The stem is kind of nice, but nothing too notable IMO, so maybe I can try something a bit different, and at least see what my options are. Maybe I can get more than one for it.

The others are Rossi and/or Savinelli Author and/or Prince pipes, bent and half-bent, and I'd probably just want black replacement stems, again about an inch longer.

1. Can I simply order replacement stems for these, as they're not unusual or rare or old pipes? If so, where from?

2.1 If I have to have stems custom made or fitted, as I THINK I've read you do because individual pipes from a line of factory-made pipes will still vary, where do you recommend I get them?

2.2 If going the custom route, do I need to send someone only the stems, or the whole pipes?

Can you tell I'm a Technical Writer? ? Thanks in advance!

You could look at Vermontfreehand for replacement stems, But all stems need to be fitted to the particular pipe.
If you send them off to be re-stemmed, you would need to send the pipe, so the new stem could be fitted to the stummel.

I would highly recommend Blue Room Briars. Jesse's stems are super comfortable and drilled perfectly! You would have to send the whole pipe. The mortise and tenon would be impossible to get right without both pieces and so would making the fit flush.

I had a new stem made for a Savinelli. I sent the pipe to Briarville and it cost around $30. There is a price list on the website...check it out.

You can have Ric make you a new stem an inch longer.

even if You order exact replacement stem with shape reference there is still high likelihood it wont fit straightaway

I bought an estate pipe from Blue Room Briars which had a new replacement stem (in the pipe's description) which was very well done.

If you're not in the USA, The Danish Pipe Shop is a good choice. They made me a new stem for an old Stanwell and did an excellent job. You can choose either vulcanite or acrylic but will have to send them the whole pipe.

You have to send the stummel in for fitting. They don't just send a stem to you.

In rare cases such as rare shapes, the pipe has to be sent to Italy for refitting for $80.
