Variations on Pipe Mud - Tip for Alternative Ash

[woodrow]

I’ve experimented with a number of concoctions but they all work. For those who don’t smoke cigars I’ve found this one to be very useful.

A mixture of Elmer’s multi purpose glue, Briar dust and Charcoal dust mixed into a black paste. Apparently, Elmer’s glue is an organic material and when mixed with both briar and charcoal holds up to the temperature and general abuse well. The Briar dust was left over from the rim removal and the charcoal dust came from a health food store. The mixture is easy to adjust for texture and also easy to apply.

Nothing wrong with ash from a pipe. But just the ash, no dottle, etc. That's why cigars are recommended- clean and easy.

If you have a pellet stove the uber fine ash makes great mud. Its been super heated and pulverized.

I would be willing to supply a few Kilos for the market,I have enough on hand. I might also be willing to ship International. I wonder how customs eould react to soot being declared.

I've yet to understand why someone can't bring themself to buy a $2 cigar at the gas station if they needed some cigar ash. There's no war between cigars and pipes. If just for the ashes, I could burn down a White Owl if I had to. It makes pipe guys sound like spoiled 4 year old brats with a temper tantrum, refusing to eat a piece of broccoli and kicking and screaming on the floor. FFS

I used tobacco ash as a bowl coating in bowls that I have sanded down. I keep an old with ash in the drawer.

I'm still waiting for someone to use cremains from their father to make pipe mud for one of the pipes they inherited. A fitting tribute in any book.

Oh wow, I have been wondering what to do with the ashes from my beloved Belgian Malinois. He always was good at digging holes, now he can fix them.
