[QUOTE="Lainatan, post: 604992, member: 4426"] I know this is an old post but I had a question. I was given my grandfathers old pipe from my dad and he told me it didn’t really smoke and was filthy but I could have it. I took the thing and realized it was threaded and not the mortise and tenon style. And there was this thing inside that was near dark brown/black. After cleaning the thing up as best I could using my favorite bourbon, both as a solution and a means of hydration, it looks almost identical to that. I found out it was called a “stinger” but I’m curious what a stinger actually is, what’s its use is? Not sure if anyone can help out, mostly I just saw people say throw them away, but then how does the stem fit to the pipe? (Side Note: I’ve smoked it a few times after resurrecting it. There is the beginnings of a burnout in the bowl, but what’s really fascinating is the bit. Apparently, the teeth marks left by my grandfather (or father for that matter) happen to fit mine when I clench it, identically. Apparently, we clench the same way and I never knew he even smoked a pipe! He had quit long before I started!) [/QUOTE]
