[QUOTE="brianr, post: 337253, member: 3277"] It'll be better if you can let the pipe mud cure for three days Brian. Hopefully it was thick and gluey.[/quote]It was like what American's call 'Spackle' I believe, we would say filler or Polly-filler. I can leave it for three days, thank you for the advice. Brian. [/quote] Well, after 3 days almost to the hour, I smoked it and...... the repair failed. Clearly I got the 'mix' wrong, 'too wet' I suspect as it seems to have disintegrated and mixed with the ash. Not sure if I will try again- I'm not that keen on cigars! or just smoke it until it fails and buy another. As I'm in the UK it isn't worth shipping back to MM. I've now found a localish shop where I can buy them over the counter cheaper than Ebay (Ebay is about £6.50 + p&p, so about £10 or $16 for a legend against £5.50 in the shop, nearer $8 ). Traditional tobacconists, which sell pipes and more than a few tobaccos, are as rare as hen's teeth over here (the UK). [/QUOTE]
