@chasingembers , did you notice any damage when you were watering your trees? ?If you’re so confident why did you experiment with tour finest Dunhill or freehand?

I did. He didn’t ask for comments on everyone else’s comments.The op asked a question about the thoughts, “on this”. Didn’t you read?
Proof of a reproducible result will certainly be valuable.I'm sure, but why not. The whole thing only takes a few minutes and more visual experiments can never hurt. It costs me nothing.
Yes.@olkofri had the end of a wood stem crack on a Vauen Auenland.
He asked a straight forward question without qualification.I did. He didn’t ask for comments on everyone else’s comments.
But by all means, carry on. Everyone needs to be known for something.
While I agree, there is historical wisdom, which I posted .One pays good moneys for a pipe and not one person here has a corner on "the proper treatment of the pipe." Some members go from the sublime to the ridiculous and that's where the humor lays. So, carry on men, even those without a clue add to the fun.
Because the pipe was brand new and the stem was smooth and pristine before getting it wet.And it was proven that water caused that how?
It did eventually rot out the bottom and the stem turned green but it was just a Dunhill.@chasingembers , did you notice any damage when you were watering your trees? ?
Considering they were just under $100 when they first came out, the prices they are going for now is a bit excessive.This is a very expensive (to me) pipe
It's called conversation, get out more.He didn’t ask for comments on everyone else’s comments.
Yes, indeed. I only bought it because bollitopipe.it had it for $153 USD. They're $100 more at SPC and other places this side of the pond.Considering they were just under $100 when they first came out, the prices they are going for now is a bit excessive.
When I first saw them going up my jaw dropped. The three I had combined were $285.Yes, indeed. I only bought it because bollitopipe.it had it for $153 USD. They're $100 more at SPC and other places this side of the pond.
Maybe that’s conversation in Kentucky, it’s mosquito like annoyance most other places.It's called conversation, get out more.
You’re absolutely right, junior.He asked a straight forward question without qualification.
That, combined with it being a thin veneer over another material, doesn’t surprise me in the least. I was mistakenly thinking those came with a solid briar stem.Birch and water, though, whole different story
No need to resort to name calling. Bad sport ?You’re absolutely right, junior.
Rock on, increase your post count, and make the forum a better place.
It’s a conversation anywhere. No need to try and put down others.Maybe that’s conversation in Kentucky, it’s mosquito like annoyance most other places.
Yup. I'm no wood expert, but I suspect that if I water-rinsed my MacQueen 'warden, whose stem is solid wood, the wood would expand in both directions and wouldn't crack—swell, maybe, but not crack. The stem would shed the dye and make a heck of a mess, but it wouldn't crack, probably.That, combined with it being a thin veneer over another material, doesn’t surprise me in the least. I was mistakenly thinking those came with a solid briar stem.
