[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 513396, member: 2318"] I admire your good humor, patience and determination. My pipe mentor was a distinguished gent, who dressed in Brooks Brothers and looked like the chairman of the board. A clencher, many of his pipes had bitten through stems. He thought replacing them would be disrespectful. His commuting can was more than ten years old and the fenders were rusty. He said, “That’s not rust, that’s the patina of faithful service.” Just a thought for you should your best efforts be frustrated. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
