cool pipe! I really like that hat too... I could never pull it off :(

Hey guys, i am really excited about this pipe I just purchased off of al pascia and it should be here in two or three days. Loved the shape on the pipe, kinda reminded me of a brass instrument and a flower and thought it was unique looking. Anyways I was gonna just send a link to photos of it on...

Hey the website i was referring to which i should have mention was alpascia. Tons of great pipes which I think most would say are fairly expensive or high end. If you click on anyone of them with the exception of a few obviously petes and stans and some ardors they all have ebonite/vulcanite...

I just want to know why manufacturers and high end independent pipe makers use vulcanite/ebonite on pipes? If you spend $1000.00 on a pipe but has a ebe/vulc stem it will turn yellow and oxidize and your beautiful briar which cost an arm and a leg will be tarnished. i just cant see why acrylic...

Im looking to get a pipe lighter that runs on butane. I already have several cans of triple filter fluid leftover from when i smoked cigars. Any good ones that are under $25?

Thanks Yak! what size would I want the micromesh to be in? and what about the oxy clean?

Hello, I just used a magic eraser to get rid of oxidation on my pipe and it left is kinda dullish matte black. I have no experience with polish and was wondering whats the best to use? I know a polish wont bring it back to mirror like or factory quality. I dont have a buffing machine so it would...

Hello, im new to pipe smoking but I transitioned from cigars. I noticed that some of my tobaccos that I have, have a cigarish kinda taste. My question is, is there any good tobaccos you have tried that exclude cigar leaves? I heard engine #99 has no cigar tobacco and am interested in testing...

Im gonna have to let you down now, i dont know much about the effects or benefits of using the wet sanding technique or not. However, i did see some info saying wet sanding does reduce surface friction giving you a more lubricated sanding surface which would minimize surface scratches. I would...

Yes you will need super fine sand paper to smooth is out and take your time with this you dont want to have micro scratches all over the place cause your hands flopped all over the place while sanding. After you sand em out you use a buffing wheel 1600 rpm to 2400 rpm to polish it up nice back...
