I didn't buy this from Pipes and Cigars, but I sure wish I would have, because their price for this pipe was much better than what I paid. I bought this pipe from a local B&M and it just happened that the only picture I could find online, was theirs. After seeing Pipes and Cigars prices, I will be checking in with them before I buy another pipe. I'm sorry about the confusion. It was all my fault. Thanks for the help. Ken |

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
All right guys I've been looking in all the wrong places for an answer. What do I use to polish my briar. I'm guessing that old english might not be a good idea. Two of my pipes have what I thought may be charing around the rim. But I can scrape it off with my thumb kind off sticky. What do I use to clean this area?

Sorry - low bandwidth at the Friedman Field Research Station in Edmunds, Maine. Fascinating place if you like moose, mussels, clams, geology or wildflowers. Very slow to get things done outside of batches.
Human nose oil is excellent; carnauba wax needs a little friction/heat to apply - experience needed so don't try it on a pipe you love fist time out; Halcyon and Halcyon II can be finger-applied and hand buffed to a nice luster; and one drop of olive oil and a soft cotton rag do fine on briar and stems.

Thanks for the reply. I bet it feels better in Maine than it does in La.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
As far as the charring around the rim, use a little saliva to wet it down and wipe it off with something...there is a spray can called Arango Briar Pipe Wipe you can buy...you get some handi-wipes and saturate them with the Briar Pipe Wipe then let the handi-wipe dry and you have a polishing cloth that works great...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
Where do you store your pipe tobacco? I've recently been on the hurtin' end of a NST pipe tobacco trade and have 16 baggies with tobacco in them. It'll take me a while to smoke all of this, even while sharing with friends. I'm thinking of buying a one of those airtight containers used to store flour in. Should I keep a humidification device in the jar? At what humidity? Thanks!

Hello Andrew, I saw the damage that Marc sent you. I'm sure you'll find something decent to smoke in that mess Regarding your storage question, you may want to try a small cooler with some sort of humidification device (beads, etc.) inside to store the baggies. You can also use this cooler for future purchases too. If there's a tobaccy that you're gonna smoke on a regular basis, and you're gonna buy 5 or more oz to keep on hand, you may want to look into mason jars or something like this: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/libbey-70996-22-oz-storage-jar-with-lid-12-cs/55170996.html You can usually find the Libby storage type jars at Goodwill shop, 99 cent stores, etc. for around, well, 99 cents to $4.00 each. Wash them out and they are as good as new. Hope this helps you out... So where is that old fart anyways?

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
What humidity do you keep the tobacco at? Should I use beads or just a sponge? Thanks.
