Anybody Use Clipper Lighters?
Yep, these bastards are the best for a pipe IMO. Unfortunately I was never been able to refill one properly. I stick the butane bottle in and press for as long as 2-3 minutes but it never gets as full as it was when I bought it. On the other hand - they come for almost dirt price at my local...- Shylock_Homeless

Anybody Use Clipper Lighters?
The fact that Clipper's butt fits perfectly in almost every chamber and therefore can be (and is often) used as a tamper gives it additional 100 points before any other odd-shaped Bic / Cricket / Zippo / you-name-it- Shylock_Homeless

An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite
Just tried the Air Pocket packing method on my meerschaum-lined pipe with 9mm Balsa filter- wow! Very easy and controllable draw Very cool smoke No relights, almost no tampering (but I think I packed too much) Thank you for the idea! Will hand on to it for now- Shylock_Homeless

Greetings from Israel
Hi all, seems like I missed this one but better late than never, eh? I'm from Israel and I'm really new to pipe smoking after about 30 years of cigarettes. Unfortunately there are not many pipe smokers in Israel so that's one of the reasons I'm here.- Shylock_Homeless

Pipe Sighting at the Movies
At that time nobody thought about it... BTW, they censored out Sherlock's phrase "Oh, you've served in Afghanistan!" (When he meets Dr. Watson). Changed it to "eastern colonies". Another fun fact - Sherlock's pipe was hand-made by Alexey Fedorov, the guy who made Stalin's pipes. At some point...- Shylock_Homeless

Frustrated!
I am only a n00b here so maybe my 2 cents will go in vain but I totally agree with @gervais - relights are my life. As soon as I stopped worrying about relights (hey, I am smoking my pipe when I'm alone, no one's watching) I started enjoying my pipe more! And you know what? Somehow (not that I...- Shylock_Homeless

Please Help Identify this Pipe Shape
Hello everybody. I am trying to identify this pipe shape. The chamber is 26mm deep, looks cylindric, inner diameter is 17.8mm and outer bowl diameter, measured on top is 42mm. Judging by these I'd say it's a Bent Pot shape but I'm confused by the smooth decline from the bowl to the shank. Why am...- Shylock_Homeless
