    Plastic Tube in Stem- Vauen Churchwarden

    Another possibility: He punctured the inner tube while cleaning and moisture leaked in that spot and swelled the wood.

    Premier League, Championship League, League One, etc.

    I am pretty sure my Spurs aren't going to get in the way of the Cityzens, Be nice if it were simply a good game, but not counting on that, either.

    Beat the Gurgling!! Here's how . . . . .

    It's quite possible to have a dry smoke- to the bottom if you wish- with the draft hole somewhat above the heel of the chamber. The fix was just posted above as I was writing this.

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    I can't add any reason for the naming conventions used. I do like seaports, though!

    Custom Pipe Tampers: A Hidden Gift

    What luck; what timing! I, too, recently uncovered an incredible tamper which I'll let go for only $35. What's that you say? There're more on offer for less! BUT, this one has a gentlemanly—dare I say, more manly!— finish, not garish, almost raw metal. And it has a custom bend as shown...

    Beat the Gurgling!! Here's how . . . . .

    Brilliant post! I never thought techniques would be advanced that are as laborious as this! Thanks, but I'll stick to my shove and scuffle the properly dry tobacco into the chamber, over torch it so I don't do two lights, then relax in Nirvana. Or maybe in my arm chair.

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    Just the ports that Steve Richman used to name the US Esotericas.... And, thanks for info on cuts—I'll continue saying it's shag, in part 'cause it's so much more manly than "ribbon"... :sher:

    Custom Pipe Tampers: A Hidden Gift

    Well, maybe that should be in first person? :) Perhaps I am just fortunate, in that most lies from women I know are directed at others.

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    Well, I'll be shagged! Ah, well, I have been laboring under a misconception for all nine years I've been here. Blame tobaccoreviews.com- they say Margate is shag. How many microns define each cut?

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    And in several other seaports in England.... But if not a shag cut, what?
