[QUOTE="Briar Spirit, post: 355105, member: 2669"] With no access to cigar ash you can use pipe tobacco ash, it doesn't set as hard as cigar ash but it works well enough to stop a burn-out. The ash you need to get from your smokes is the whiter stuff, if it is darker grey or black there is a lot of unburnt material in the mix and liable to combust along with the tobacco in the chamber. Water is better if the pipe is for someone else but it is said saliva will bond the ash better, I cannot confirm nor deny this claim but saliva is not suitable if the pipe is not your own of course. I would recommend some distilled water, you want the mixture to be pretty thick and pasty. I personally prefer to get into the chamber with a flat faced tooth pick to remove any of the charred Briar, this will make the bonding properties of the pipe mud all the stronger as it will bond with wood and not charcoal.
