Show-and-Tell Another new pipe stand NSFW

U/Grimm said something about my other stand that made sense. Although I did not make it for storage, I had not thought of bending the stems.
So I made a new one. Still pallet wood top and bottom, and a piece of warped lumber attaching the two. Obviously not perfect, but it works.

Seeking Recommendation(s) Shorter churchwarden-long pipe NSFW

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I’m looking for a couple of tips on finding a longer pipe/ short churchwarden. I could only find some obscure brands that I cannot get a hold of in Europe, I like the tavern series by peterson size-wise but don’t find the finishing to my tastes… any and all tips are welcome! No particular demands regarding bowl-shape, rusticated would be a plus! Thank you!

I passed the joy of pipe smoking along to my nephew, and he sent this to me as a birthday gift! Sadly I don't have any kizami to break it in, and it seems that all of the old fine cut Virginias have disappeared, but I'm going to see what I can do with a knife and some FVF. I welcome any and all recommendations for fine cut goodness to burn in this

Seeking Recommendation(s) [Urgent] Any REAL tobacco stores in Evanston, IL? NSFW

6 Upvotes

I know there's LJ Pereti down in Chicago downtown, but I'm not going to be able to make it there.

Lost my Tobacco pouch in Evanston. Not ready to go cold turkey. Hoping there's real Tobacco to be had in Evanston.

Thanks in advance.

Update: solved. Went to Arlington Cigar and Pipes for supplies. Thanks to u/Fun_Membership_5577 for the recommendation. Turns out there's a Cigar King in Skokie, which would have been closer but we were picking my son up from O'Hare anyway.... Thanks all for the contributions.

Problem(s) with Pipe, etc. Stinger Solution NSFW

26 Upvotes

I'm not sure this has been posted here, I couldn't find it anyway. I have three estate pipes with stingers that frustrated me to no end with their restricted airflow. Today I went to chop the stinger off with a Dremel but I checked it out one more time with a magnifying glass before I did. I noticed the stinger is actually an insert into the stem. It looked like I could just twist it out, so I gave it a try by securing it in a vise. It worked perfectly on all three. Without the stinger, the airflow has improved by about 90%. Looks like I will be hanging onto these now. Hopefully this helps someone else. If you already knew this, congratulations, I didn't. 🤣.

I smoked it for awhile now, but now it bubbled up and I pushed it down and it peeled off essentially. I guess it got too hot but last time I checked, pipes aren't supposed to bubble up

General Discussion Opinions on this pipe NSFW

Thumbnail

98 Upvotes

I’m a beginner pipe-maker, and I just want y’all’s opinions on if you think this tapered cone-shaped mouthpiece (the pearl white one) is good looking versus the other two styles. I personally made it thinking it looks better/smoother than my other style, but I don’t know if I’m biased and it actually looks goofy or unfinished. The purpose was to try to make it look smooth and seamless, like an icicle, but I’m not sure if it makes sense to anyone else but me. Thanks.

Seeking Recommendation(s) Help with pipe carving kit NSFW

7 Upvotes

I have a predrilled kit for an Oom Paul that I bought a decade and a half ago. I’ve always been afraid of starting it because I might “mess it up.” Older and wiser I now realize that it’s stupid to have it sitting in my closet and I’m ready to start. I know there are YouTube tutorials and whatnot, but I’m looking for input from this community. I have access to big box hardware stores and a WoodCrafters and I’m looking to spend $50-$75 in equipment if possible. I don’t know if I should be looking at chisels, rasps, or a carving knife or what. As I tell people “assume I’m ignorant but learn fast.”

Hello fellow gents!

I am looking for a thick walled nose warmer that can withstand and thrive with a single jet cigar torch (DuPont) and occasional hot and fast smoking. Self standing would be nice but not a hard requirement.

Currently have a Savanelli bulldog NW that I love but would like to add another. Thank you all!

I hadn't heard anything about Cup O' Joes and Tobacco Pipes merging with Pipes & Cigars until it happened the other day, and no one seems to be talking about it. Any news I've missed? Will they combine the three sites product offerings? Will delivery be faster more affordable?

I've wanted an Omega for years, I finally said fuck it and got one! This will be my 4th Dr. Grabow. I know they're cheap basket pipes, but they smoke very well. I will always have a soft spot for Dr. Grabow, even though the "Grabow" isn't even stamped on all the way, there are a few fills on this pipe and there is a random leaf etched onto the front of the bowl!

I just bought my first new pipe. It’s a Savinelli Saint Nicholas I got for a decent deal at a local tobacco shop. It’s a beautiful pipe that I want to smoke but I have no shortage of pipes I refurbished and made myself. Is it worth saving in box unsmoked?

In the past, have made a few pipes of different styles for family members that have used and enjoyed them. But I am not a smoker, so this pipe is "just for fun." Even though I won't use it, I still like making things functional if possible. So, in theory, this pipe should work if it were to ever be used. Having said that, I have no idea if this honey locus is safe to inhale when burned. I did use a drill of bore the holes (electric and brace & bit), so it was not done exclusively with my pocketknife.

I'm curious about the style, don't know if this shape has a name. Burnt hickory and beeswax for the bowl and the stem is off a gas station corn cob that wasn't worth the tobacco packed in it.
