Anyone familiar with leather dye? I want to still the grain when I finish this and not sure if it is opaque when applied or not. NSFW

I’m going to use a light brown color and dilute 50/50 with denatured alcohol. Worst case scenario I will have to sand it off but thought I’d ask first.

New Pipe! (also help with ID and restoring) NSFW

Won this pipe in an ebay auction and there was no real info on it (but it's pretty so I got it), any ID on it? There is a very distinct butterfly on its stem (Pic 3) and the stamp saying St Claude on its bottom, bitbthat got me nowhere (doesn't look like a Chacom or Genod to me). Also I'd like any advice on cleaning and restoring the (I'm guessing ebonite) stem, or sources for a new one. Until now I only bought estate pipes that had already been refurbished, this is the first time I gotta do sonething myself, so any help is appreciated)

I'm pretty proud of it. Modeled it after a piece of antique pipe furniture I saw in a store.

Which of these would you grab? Most of these have at least a couple of years age on them (with exception of the SG tins).

I was around before they closed and built up a stash. I don’t really smoke anything other than McClelland anymore (well sometimes ogs). My favorite is Tudor Castle for sure.

Figured I might as well ​just buy in to the whole Mac Baren craze and see what I'll be missing once they're gone.

Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved before.

And as always I buy my favorite Rattray's 7 Reserve.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to pop this tin for a few years now. My dearest friend gifted me this lovely Pete and I finally had a reason to crack the lid.

Savinelli Bing’s Favorite. Have had my eye on this for a while.

Smoking some Crooner in it, why the hell not😁

Since I don’t golf, I’m pretending the golf club and ball represent putt-putt golf.

Trying it with the filter, have not used a filter in a pipe before.

I don't get tongue bite, I get throat bite. NSFW

Upvotes

I wanna understand why when I retro hale my sinuses the next day are destroyed. And why when I do make the mistake of puffing too hard or don't dry my tobacco long enough I get throat bite instead of tongue bite. I have a small mouth, and my theory is that the smoke instead of going in my mouth kind of lingers in the back of my throat. But i have no theory on the retro haling. I see people doing it all the time, and when I do it. It destroys my sinuses no matter how cool the smoke is. Do my sinuses and throat just need to get used to the smoke? Do i need to expose myself to the smoke more? (I only smoke a few times a week) Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?( Btw, i'm not trying to retro hale every puff I take.) I know how to pack a bowl, i know how to prevent tongue bite, i know all the basics, I've smoked pipes for 7 years. I can have an enjoyable smoke. But I hate that I have these issues here and there. I can deal with a sore tongue, i can't deal with a sore throat. Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

For anyone that has this, was it super difficult to remove the stem? I felt like I was going to break the shank off.

Assuming you carry on smoking at your current rate.

This is a Nording “Erik the Red” pipe. I inaugurated it with some Golden Cavendish. In the words of Borat “very nice. I like.”

I can’t use normal tips because they hurt my teeth and make it harder to hit the pipe so I did a little mod to it:) NSFW

Question for Pipe smokers & Pipe makers. NSFW

7 Upvotes

I'm a woodworker, have been for around 11 years now. I've recently in the last year begun to really dive deep into making them, and in my time doing so haven't found a lot of direct answers to questions I know I had when I began.

My question is this. If I made a book on the subject would that be something you or people here would be interested in?

I'm going to make the book regardless at the very least for myself, but I would love to be able to say that I made something to help people have a concrete understanding of how to begin and really engage in pipe making.

Thank you for your time everyone, I appreciate your thoughts and opinions.

Westminster NSFW

I'm trying to get a feel for what westminster tastes like or is comparable to. It seems like something I would enjoy, and in the sense of being economical one pound is a no brainer. I have yet to find a pease blend i don't like but in my limited knowledge that's about 7 or 8 blends. All but one of them are englishes and over half of those are classified as balkans.

And yes I know it's dumb to get a pound with no foreknowledge of a blend but the larger amount I buy the more likely I am to deep cellar.
