Saving a Neerup pot.

[Blue ridge smoke]

Purchased a Neerup a few years ago. Thought the color and grain was fantastic but really was unsure of the short nose warmer style. Well I really hated how short it was, so out of the rotation it went. Got to thinking if it only had a longer stem it'd probably be a good smoker. After some searching found Rich Messineo who runs Briarville inc. specializing in pipe repair and restoration. Had him make me a new stem and he did a fantastic job. Give him a call. Quality work. Oh, the pipe smokes wonderful.

That's awesome! Looks like it's all grown up now!

But sheesh, brand new stem and you put a wierd condom on it! How are you supposed to get your tooth divots in it with that thing on it!

I guess I'll just have to settle for divot envy.

Well I clench my pipes when smoking and it's easier on my teeth to have the "condom " .

Send that photo to Peder, it may give him some ideas.

Ricjhis my go-to - he is also a whiz with meers...

That he is. Aside from a long absent Anthony Cooke, Rich would be my top recommendation for cleanups, restorations, and repairs for pipes of any type.

Decided to take the yellowish varnish, lacquer, stain off returning it to natural briar. Cut the top flat and rubbed with some coconut oil.
