I just broke my BF and wondered if I could at least save the stem and get another pipe that could accept the BF stem. Mine didn’t have the golf club.
Stuff happens, lol. I wouldn’t get too discouraged but maybe some modestly priced pipes are in your future. Lots and lots of decent $50-100 pipes out there and I’ve enjoyed more than a few basket pipes that didn’t break the bank!Dang. OK. I think I’m done buying new pipes until I can learn to behave with one.
What broke on your Bing's Favorite? Maybe you can have it repaired?I just broke my BF and wondered if I could at least save the stem and get another pipe that could accept the BF stem. Mine didn’t have the golf club.
Hit across my hand to knock out the tobacco. Broke the stem. It was packed using the German “Frank” method. Good pack I guess.?What broke on your Bing's Favorite? Maybe you can have it repaired?
Good advice.I’ve broken a special few beyond repair. It sucks, but they’re others pipes in the sea. Easy way to get over it is to go ahead a peruse one of your favorite on-line pipe retailers. ??️
Literally bought the first pipe in the trade section here for that reason. The Lil’ B is mine thanks SC!Stuff happens, lol.

So the sauerkraut got stuck?Hit across my hand to knock out the tobacco. Broke the stem. It was packed using the German “Frank” method. Good pack I guess.?
it was the first pipe I ever bought. I deserved it. Lesson learned.So the sauerkraut got stuck?
Sorry to hear that, those are a “skinny” style and I’ll bet others have had mishaps.
I also broke the first pipe I ever bought, although in my case it was just a drugstore brand. But, as you said, it's a good lessonit was the first pipe I ever bought. I deserved it. Lesson learned.
Yeah, whacking a pencil shank pipe too hard will definitely increase the risk of breaking the stem. Same with churchwardens.
Probably easier (certainly better) to loosen the tobacco with a pipe tool and dump.
Don’t be discouraged! Buy another pipe - maybe treat yourself to a new one for IPSD!!! If you want to feel assured buy a chunky pipe. If you can break a Sav 320 or pretty much any Peterson I believe there’s a special emotional support group where you can meet the other two gorillas who broke theirs. ???
I really liked that one because of the style and without the little golf club on it.I also broke the first pipe I ever bought, although in my case it was just a drugstore brand. But, as you said, it's a good lesson
I remember when I thought I had broken my first pipe. Embarrassed, I showed my friend who had given it to me…turns out all I had done was remove the stemI also broke the first pipe I ever bought, although in my case it was just a drugstore brand. But, as you said, it's a good lesson
I wish that happened to me. I broke the woodI remember when I thought I had broken my first pipe. Embarrassed, I showed my friend who had given it to me…turns out all I had done was remove the stem
