Why don’t we figure out a chain like a pocket watch to prevent this from happening? Worst case we look like dorks but we save the pipe and stem. Lol.
Yeh, you know how fragile us pipesmokers are. We wouldn't want to look weird while putting vegetation into pieces of wood or stone while wearing long beards and hats from the turn of the century.Why don’t we figure out a chain like a pocket watch to prevent this from happening?

Ps, I just went into 4 week sick leave,got hernia operated, no restriction on pipe smoking though)
Aw, damn, weez. I hate that for you. Big time sucks. } I'm in the same position, except briar; like a doofus noob I snapped the tenon on one of my Ascorti New Dears last week & have to get it fixed. BV may be getting a package from me after the Xmas rush slows down. Gluck to yaz!As I am getting ready to load up one of my Meers, "IT" happens! Out of my hand it goes to the floor. Well, being it lands on one of the dogs blankets I think I'm good till I go to pick it up. Alas, amber stem in half. That my friends is one of the perils of smoking very old meer pipes. It's not like the thing hasn't been put together again and again over the 100 years it's been around. Well, off to the magic of Briarville to do their thing again for me (if ANYONE can heal it, it's them!)..
Sorry to hear that too, Paul. Glad you're getting recovered from the mend job, though!My Condolences Weezell, But You will get this sorted out eventually, shit does happens occasionally

More than true baby,I’d probably get a spontaneous hernia just trying to figure out how to pay for all the new pipes you’ve bought lately.
It is what it is,so far so good as they say, smoking Condor Long CutSorry to hear that too, Paul. Glad you're getting recovered from the mend job, though!
I slipped and fell on the ice 3 years ago. Broke 7 ribs and 5 discs in my back. I still ain't fu%#in right! BAD SHIT I tell you...?Well, this antique is more concerned with what happens to his body in a slip or fall than the fate of his pipe!
