    Is This Tin 29 Years?

    I was gifted a tin today and noticed the sticker on the back. It's HU Flanagan.

    Another Meer Coloring Tip/Method

    Edited title after significant feedback. 3/14 It works. I'm disappointed that it was this easy, but it works. I feel like the meerschaum mafia is on their way to my house now that I'm disclosing this. Put the meer in a glass jar. Smoke another pipe. Blow smoke into the jar, seal the lid...

    Elizabethan Mixture

    It's underwhelming. Where's the perique? I did not finish the tin I purchased without re-blending it myself. I'm just here to say it's a fine entry-level Virginia blend. Maybe the simplicity is something to be sought after. I would recommend it as a solid tobacco blend, but it is not the...

    Sutliff Crème Brûlée

    I do not recommend this blend. Some say it tastes like nothing. I think it tastes like burning sugar, which is similar to its namesake. The mechanics of this blend are impossible. I've seen guys dry it out on a cookie tin with paper towel for however long. Who wants to do that? Not this...

    Help This Pipe

    Good morning all. Let me know what you guys think. Is it time to give up on this one? The pipe has been discolored since wiping the JB weld away with Everclear. The junction doesn't come together as perfectly as it did but the JB weld seems to flake off with relative ease. She's pretty enough...

    Cracked My Paykoc

    Paykoc Pipes. $95 Canadian Lattice I love this pipe and it's not returnable after smoking. I probably wouldn't return it anyway. But last night I was smoking in my idling car to avoid a chill (not my usual practice). I let the pipe sit on the roof of my car to cool off. The delta T in temp was...

    Graduating Beyond Novice Level

    It was a warm winter evening. I burned my mouth as I had done many times before. But this time was different. For my taste was no more. They said smoke slow. I said "Hell no," So and so chirped, "You're smoking too fast. A cadence like that? Boy, You'll never last." I toasted my tongue. Mucus...

    First Drug Store Aromatic

    I just got three codger blends. SWR aromatic, Paladin Black Cherry, and Half&Half. The SWR was too dry to smoke, and the gentleman behind the counter said that Paladin flies off the shelf. So I just had my first bowl of Paladin. It's not half bad! So what are the "good" aromatics? Does anyone...

    Shipping from Tekin

    So I have had hit or miss contact with Tekin at the Tekinmeer website, Etsy, and meershchaumstore. They were: responsive on Etsy, unresponsive on the Tekinmeer website, unresponsive on the meershchaumstore email page, and responsive via Whatsapp. I don't know who runs their contact page(s)...

    To Cut or Not to Cut? (Threaded Stinger)

    Hey all, I just want to see what the consensus is on these threaded stingers. This one is in an estate/ebay meerschaum. The airflow is restricted, but, certainly, still enjoyable. At this point the pipe needs to be separated to be cleaned. This is cumbersome because I will likely pack 2-3...

    Negligence: Is This Repairable?

    Hello All. I didn't listen when I was told not to dismantle a pipe while it's hot. Now I'm left with a leaky pipe. Moisture escapes this (picture below) non-flush joint between the stem and shank, and it gets on my hand sometimes. It's a little gross but doesn't take away from the experience...

    I Did the Twist

    I watched a couple videos on YouTube repeatedly and created a twist. It's an even mix of: Dominican Ligero Piloto Cubano Dark Fired Wrapped Burley Bright smooth flue-cured Virginia Rustica/ wild tobacco. It took my more than an hour to complete after deciding they would all smoke OK together. I...

    The Beginning Signs of Burnout. Pipe mud?

    Title edited for lack of capitals of important words. Rule 9. Can you post photos? I have a falcon bowl called the "chimney". The walls are a few mm thick all the way down. I don't smoke this bowl any differently than my other falcon bowl or any other of my briar pipes. I cannot smoke this...

    Greetings from New Jersey

    Hey everyone, My name is Jordan. I'm from the Northeastern U.S.. I have been a pipe smoker for a couple weeks now. I have smoked cigarettes for a long time (10+yrs), but pipe smoking has eliminated that part of my diet. Pipe smoking is a much more pleasurable and relaxing experience...
