Looks empty to me lol
Digging the pipes stand. That’s a PVC pipe in many ways lol. Maybe it stands forView attachment 169795
This cheap Gold Coast will pass a cleaner. Now smoking EZ1.
I purchased an inexpensive Comoy brandy years ago when I was in London that also gets moist where the vulcanite stem meets the shank. I only use it when I travel since it wouldn't upset me if it got lost or broke in my luggage; although it otherwise smokes pretty well and looks nice.Finally got a load of cleaners and decided to revisit my first pipe. A 25€ Capitello that likes to get hot and leak moisture between wood and vulcanite but works just fine otherwise. I don't smoke it much but think it's a beauty. Gonna enjoy some Burley and Kentucky with just a sprinkle of Turkish in it.

A damn shame though, isn't it? Do you have any idea what might cause it? I recently purchased another bruyere for 30€ that also fits together very tightly and was made rather poorly but doesn't leak.I purchased an inexpensive Comoy brandy years ago when I was in London that also gets moist where the vulcanite stem meets the shank.

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.A damn shame though, isn't it?

I'd really like to fix it permanently instead of just placing strips of paper or pieces of cleaners inbetween.
