Right now, smoking some Mac Baren's Golden Extra in a mystery pipe. On this smoke, I noticed that the outer wall of the bowl is becoming dark and blackened. I looked into the bowl and it looks like it is burning through to the outside. The end of this no-namer could be soon!

A little fireplace mortar in that spot on the inside will fix it.

Damn that thing is coloring fast!
Actually, kind of reverse of that. This Meer was heavily waxed. The wax on the bowl melted away in the first two or three bowls and left the bowl white. The wax on the shank has helped some but appears more yellow than it really is because the bowl whitened so much. Kind of strange. I'm just going to keep doing it and see where it goes.

Starting the morning with some Hamborger Veermaster from a Cristian Galeazzi billiard. View attachment 194281

You mean a have Regina Scarlatta pipe. ;)

Both Cristian and Cinzia make the pipes.


I’ve actually been looking around for some new ones, doesn’t look like they’ve made anything in a while.

The last ones I’ve seen, are over at LePipe.it.


Nice pipe, enjoy! ❤️

Interesting! Yeah I'd be interested to see what happens too!
