Show Your Charred Rims, (For Ranger)

[admin]

This thread was inspired by Ranger saying ...

Even on the forums, every time a pipe is shown it looks as though the thing is never smoked?

That was from this thread, Why so anal over your pipe?
I'll go first.

As a side note, and for a little fun, can anyone tell me what is wrong with the Root Briar pipe? Look at the top picture.

Dot's too big?

Replacement stem

 

[tanless1]

Custom stem to fit the gap between your absent teeth ?

 

[shimrra]

soo, but when i'm bored inside and have my pipe in front of me, i see that and clean off as much as i can...

 

[smoker]

is it because it's clean hahaha, other than that i assume the bowl is meant to be at that angle. The only other thing is the stem as a few others have mentioned.

Ha ha...so cool Kevin, your post made me smile.
I have to get a camera now and start taking pictures.....I do clean my pipe, just not anal about it.
In the Rangers everything had to be spit shined and polished so well that things never looked used, I think I am just rebelling against that time in my life....clean yes, spotless to look like new at all times ... no.
Thanks Kevin.

Top photo....pipe is too clean. 8)

Looks like the stem is slightly curved but the wrong way!

Here's my little bronze colored no-name pipe right after a smoke.

 

[ranger]

Now that to me is purely beautiful Cyndi...nice color ash in the bottom also, you go girl.

 

[cyndi]

It's every bit of a good smoke as my Savinelli and it really loves having Va/Per blends in it. When I first got it I thought it was cute but didn't think I'd actually enjoy it. I've got some Classic Burley Kake in it right now. :D

I know what you mean about the so called cheap pipes....I have some pipes that I could buy a nice little car with, and I never, well hardly ever smoke them.....my favorite pipe is a cheap little Kaywoodie that I smoke day and night, I smoke several bowls a day in it, and sometimes I wont run a cleaner through it for a few days, and I have absolutely no problem smoking it.
Thanks again for that info. before I appreciate it.
Ranger6 Peace out.

All my smokers have soot/carbon on the rim. Just like a chimney top.
hmmm, am I wrong or do I spy a crack or repaired shank. On the top photo it looks like a curved dark line just above and crossing towards the "130".

 

[cyndi]

No problem about the info. I've been doing this kind of security work since 2000 and since I've been a stay at home mom, I've been missing it. Any chance I get to help out is always a pleasure!

I had Chilis Toreados last night with dinner....

But, I don't think a picture of my "charred rim" would be appropriate. :D

 

[ranger]

Cool Cyndi.

 

[schmitzbitz]

LMAO, Lawrence, we must be stuck in the same gutter. Strange I don't smell 1Q...

"But, I don't think a picture of my "charred rim" would be appropriate".
No Lawrence, I certainly don't want to see that charred rim... 8)
