[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 288767, member: 1969"] The meerschaum in question came back from Norwood's Pipe Repair yesterday. Floyd did an excellent job. The whole deal cost me less than $30, and though I have to work on the stem a little (it now extends a bit too deep into the shank--little bit of moisture trouble) it looks and performs great. It now sports a nickel band about 1/4" across, and is holding the worst part of the crack in place perfectly. The turnaround was quick, Floyd is friendly, and the results are very promising. Granted, the pipe isn't as slick-looking as it once was, it is far better than I could have done myself in a pinch and certainly has personality now. As that crack fills in with color, it's going to look pretty cool down the road. Whether you believe cold kills meerschaums, or like me, you figure in other factors (like the bad luck of poor design application), the good news is, Norwood's is the place to take an ailing meer. Sh*t happens, how we deal with it makes the situation a disaster or lemonade from lemons. [url=http://www.norwoodspiperepair.com/]http://www.norwoodspiperepair.com/[/url] My pipe has returned. 8) (PS, I'd take pictures, but my SD card for my camera is on the fritz... :| ) [/QUOTE]
