    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    I'll try to describe what I think might have happened. The tenon is underlined in red, the main body of the mouthpiece is green. The light blue arrow I've drawn is to a little gap which is what I'm thinking might have happened. There's a very slight lip on the left hand side of the tenon (the...

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    Good idea, but no, definitely not unfortunately. I bought it as new old stock and I'm certain that the mouthpiece twisted in flush to the pipe. I think the different widths you mention isn't the issue. It seems to be that the tenon isn't pushing all the way in to the mortise adaptor. I've tried...

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    Thanks again for your help. The graphite from the pencil is a great idea, something I would never havethought of. Anyway, I've followed these steps but it hasn't quite worked. For whatever reason, the tenon and mortise adaptor is not fitting flush - unless I'm forgetting what the pipe is...

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    Thanks - apologies for lack of update, numerous things towards the end of last year seemed to stack up (caught covid, hard scheduled surgery, plus more) so this slipped down the to-do list. I can't believe it's been 4 months!

    Wondering if you're still willing to share any ideas you have for the next step?

    Thanks, that sounds like a better option that sending it to the US. If I could keep it in the UK that would be even better, so if anyone knows of someone able to service it, it'd be great to hear.

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    It's part of the stem. I suppose you'd call it the tenon with #2 (which is usually stuck in the pipe) being the mortise? Normally #1 should go flush in to #2.

    Thanks, was getting a little worried when it went nearly 24 hours with no response!

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    Thanks, I'm reluctant to try to fix it myself tbh as it's an expensive pipe. A professional repair job is fine by me, I just thought it would be worth posting here to see if anyone could help out.

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    I'd rather send it to someone this side of the Atlantic, but thanks for the suggestion. If there's no other option I will probably do this but as I say, I'd rather get it fixed here in the UK or Europe before sending it to the US.

    Meerschaum Pipe Stuck/Broken Stem Problem: Any Advice On How To Fix Is Welcome.

    Hi everyone, New user hoping for some advice. I have a Meerschaum pipe and the stem/mouthpiece has broken. I'm not entirely sure what/how it has broken but my best guess is as follows: - There ought to be a plastic insert (#2) in the pipe itself (#4), but this has come loose from the...
