Has anyone tried the forever stems? If there was one thing I could do about my cob, it would be to reduce the amount of draw it has.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
Da vinci is a tobacco I have recently tried and feel in love with It has a noticable chianti in it. I am looking for a pipe tobacco that has a strong chianti taste to it and has a little more strength to it because although great, the Di Vinci is like smoking air.

I'd contact Cornell & Diehl, call them and talk to Patti Tarler, ask if they have anything that is similar. Their aromatic would be clearner and less fill with PG than DaVinci. Here's the link to look stuff up. http://www.cornellanddiehl.com/oldindex.html Hope this helps. Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
Here's a question for you pipe folks. I have a very nice Meerschaum Billiard that was gifted to me from one of the members here. I have this fear that if I went to go smoke it outside in freezing temperatures, it might crack. Is the an irrational fear? Can I take her out in sub-freezing temps? Thanks.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
I don't own a meer, but from reading several stories on several fora, I'd say you fear is very real and by no means irrational.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
I'm still trying to get the hang of smoking a pipe. Yesterday was my first successful use of a tamper to keep the pipe lite. My problem is, when I get to about half a bowl the pipe starts to get condensation in the bottom of the bowl and stem. What should I do to address the issue?
Best regards, Andrew |

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
Pass a pipe cleaner down through the stem and into the bowl. If it is a straight pipe this should be easily done, if the pipe is bent, it may take some finagling, twisting, turning, and pushing, to get it down there.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
My pipe is one of the Kaywoodie pipes with the weird ball-ended contraption on the end of the stem. Should I attempt to cut it off?

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
I suppose you could try to cut it off as that probaly is the root of your problems. Not really sure why kaywoodie insists on putting those damns stingers in there. Thats the only reason why I dont have one

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
I thought those screwed out of the stem? Have you tried that?

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
I always thought stingers twisted or could be pulled out.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart
Not on the Kaywoodies, the tenon has threads that screw into the mortise. Some of the stingers on other pipes can be pulled out, but the kaywoodie stingers are part of the bit.
If it is a new model Kaywoodie, I would cut it off below the threads. If it is a antique, you may want to leave in intact, as the older ones are somewhat collectable. |
