I haven't posted for a while and thought now would be a good time. I have two pipes with clear acrylic stems. (I didn't make them) Brand new they looked pretty cool. But after a few months of smoking, and even with good cleaning practices, they are discolored and kinda look like crap. I won't buy an...

contrary to everything I read on this forum, I bought a Taig thinking I could turn briar on it. Even had some custom jaws made, which work, but there is nowhere near enough torque to turn wood. It's great for stems and other things I've been peckering around with. But listen to these people when the...

I thought it might have been too dry but it burned fine. I'm not a sophisticated tobacco reviewer so all I can say is that it tastes like a fine cigar!

Just wanted to say hello to all. I started making stems for my "bowl only" buys off ebay. That progressed so now I have hacked away at a few pieces of briar. I have three that I wouldn't be too embarassed to show someone (other than one of the pros). I already have learned a ton from the f...
