[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 279275, member: 3"] I was thinking band repairs too, maybe two, one at the shank end and a second a little farther up. It will be ugly but it will likely hold up and smoke OK. Then, just smoke the hell out of it and make it a beater. In the summer :lol: That's pipes. Sometimes you pay a lot for a dud, sometimes you find a gem for pennies. As a side thought re smoking meers in the cold. Sub freezing outside temps and something combusting inside a pipe made from a fragile mineral substance. Sounds like a bad idea. I doubt it would take a lot of heat from the tobacco to cause a shocking temperature reaction somewhere in the meerschaum. That it broke where it did only shows that the fracture spot was the weakest or contained a stress or micro fracture and the hot/cold shock was all it took. [/QUOTE]
