Yeah, I'll probably just leave it like it is. Perhaps a ring of cork stuck inbetween would soak up, store and over time release moisture without soiling the fingers and look pretty nice to boot.A tenon replacement might be a solution. The tenon on my pipe does not fit very tightly. However, given the cost of the pipe (I don't think I paid more than the equivalent of US$50.00 for it), it's not really worth the $25 investment.

That wins todays prize for the most perceptive post. I do force @weezell to color them for me, it saves a fortune due to TIRA (Tobacco Inflation Reduction Act) since I don't have to spend a fortune on the coloring thing which leaves tonnes of time to answer mindless questions and make smart arse posts!I'm visualizing a lavender scented bubble bath, lukewarm, with granny panties and a spot of tea nearby to help enhance the Lakeland essence of the past.
I kid, but do enjoy your pipe pictures and concept of having them colored before you buy the estate pipe (or just force @weezell to color them for you). Again, I kid.
Apparently I have jokes today, which is not a bad thing.

@Chaukisch I hope you haven't given up on the old clay; it would be good to see it again...All the leaves are going brown and the sky is gray so I'm enjoying some Lager of hop and some good tobac in my new cob instead of the ol' clay, to celebrate this fine early autumn day.
