A few of those cobs have over 25 years if service. The Roy Robs and Missouri Prides are my yard cobs. I smoke those on average of 4 times each every weekend. Thats a lot of smokes in the heat or cold, rain and shine, greasy gas soaked hands...you name it. Tough as freakin nails.

New Volcano here. I'm not one to dedicate blends anymore, but I've grown partial to Latakia in Navy Flakes. It's a day smoke for me. Needed a daytime latakia pipe. So 4. Stopping at 4. 4. Just 4.

Very nice. Is there a reason the stem on the Carolina Gent is not fully inserted?

Its a very tight fit and I a bit cautious in trying to push it all the way in. There was another member who posted his once that looked the same. I sanded the bit with 2500 wet/dry sand paper a bit, but the acrylic is fairly hard. Any suggestions?

I wish I could help, I don't really know. I was just curious. I guess it is because the stems are not custom made for each pipe.

I have been thinking about picking one up, but this makes me rethink that a little bit (may still buy it).

Sweet Home Alabama I've had this problem with a few of my cobs in the past. I used a small round file to remove/smooth out any burrs or uneven spots inside the ferrules/bands attached to the shank end. I have found it's not always the stem tenon diameter that's the problem. You might look there also for a solution.

It’s a favorite pipe and I reach for it often. I’m sure I could make it flush, but after seeing Tolkien’s pipe, it doesn’t bother me. Plus, Peterson makes a pipe with a gap. Please reconsider!!

Many thanks, friend!!

Just finished working on this one. It only had 3 or so smokes in it. I wanted something shorter so I decided to change it. Also added a hardwood plug in the bottom .
Eventually the nose warmer stem will fit all the way in, with more smokes.

Enjoyed a long session with this work of art just today.
