There goes my favorite pipe.... :)

[juozapas]

I've had this baby for a really long time. She served me well and she deserves a proper burial....

Time for a new one !!! hahahhaah...

 

[spartan]

Can't be fixed with pipe mud? lol pipe cement?
A sad day for sure.

 

[hobie1dog]

JB Weld will fill that in and not burn out...epoxy...good stuff.

 

[juozapas]

No...off to the pipe gods !! hahhahha....

 

[ichbinmuede]

Hah but if you put a metal tube through and affix it there you'll have your own version of a carburetor.
Or we can all just give it a salute and put it in the ground.

 

[olderthandirt]

So sad )-:

Farewell good briar, I'm sure you served well.

 

[tobakenist]

Theres a patent era peterson meerschaum on ebay at the moment with a hole purposely put there in the same place to aid a cool smoke.

 

[rigmedic1]

Never say never! I hate to lose an old friend that way. Maybe some way to patch it? They put wooden dowels in corn cob bottoms.

Dragon says pipe-mud and save your friend

 

[jchaplick]

Id say try and fix it...but sometimes its better to say goodbye

 

[schmitzbitz]

That's exactly wherey grandfather burned through his favourite Downhill in the 60's. Repaired with a small screw, and smoked for another decade.

 

[philip]

Id give it a special place in your cabinet, with a little wreath of flowers and maybe some pictures of you smoking it in its younger days.

 

[sincityjeff]

Is that burn out? I never seen burn out before. That is a sad sight.

 

[juozapas]

You guys are excellent funny !! :rofl: :worship:

Thanks for all the suggestions. I couldn't stop laughing with the screw to close up the hole?...that never came to mind.. :rofl: I think I will check the tool box for one!! :rofl:

 

[kennerth]

Another option after sealing is using a small wire screen to keep the tobacco off whatever repair you do on the bottom. Less heat means better strength. What was your final answer?

 

[nsfisher]

JB weld or tech steel an good as new, course now u do have an excuse to buy a new one an thats important too

 

[zanthal]

lol, yeah I dare say you got more than your moneys worth out of that pipe.
My vote is for burial in the pipe cemetery. Time for another well-loved pipe.

 

[vroomfondel]

Awesome, you put speed holes in your pipe :mrgreen:

 

[kennerth]

Or you can seal the top, drill three more holes and play it like an ocarina! :idea:

 

[smokenscotch]

So sad, but I'm sure the memories outway the pain.
