Your Pipe of The Day.

Have any of you ever tried this?

 

I had couple bowls of it. I didn't care for it much, to much cigar taste for my liking.

 

That's exactly the feedback I am looking for! It caught my eye as a unique product, but was unsure of what to expect.

 

OK, I thought it would say "imported briar" if it was briar. I guess I don't know what it is.

 

It did taste like a very good cigar. My thing is if I want a cigar, I'll buy a cigar. I don't have to clean that after.

 

Hmm ....
Perusing the internet, I see black super glue has been used to repair holes and build up vulcanite stems. It may be worth a shot if I can find some black super glue.

 

I have been on a burley kick lately, but agree with you on this point.

 

Are they holes or just big teeth marks? If it's teeth marks just put a softy bit on it. Will cover the marks and keep you from making them any deeper.

It should be stamp "brylon" if it is brylon as well. Confusing.

 

The problem is the need to get a good tenon fit to,the shank, but also the outside diameter of the stem to the outside diameter of the shank. I guess the stem having a slightly smaller diameter than the shank would be preferable to the other way around.

I used a MM unfiltered stem as a replacement on one of my early pipes that had the stem break somewhere. Tenon fit was exact, but the outside was smaller than the shank OD. Looks a little weird but works. The only problem is the interior of the MM tenon is larger than most vulcanite stems, and you get a lot more smoke pulled through.

 

It's holes, one on the top and one on the bottom.

 

I don't think the shank OD will be much of an issue in this case, as long as the base is flush. The stem has a much smaller OD than the shank.

 

No, I haven't but it looks interesting. Not sure I would want to invest $20 in it.

 

Yeah, you're right.

 

I would suggest contacting these folks. They say each stem is made to order, so maybe they would make a stem with your tenon specifications.

Maybe, but it looks like they only make one size currently, to fit the MM filtered pipes. I ordered some black rubberized cyanoacrylate that will take a week to be delivered. I'm curious to see how it does.

 

well, problem with the image on previous post

I haven't yet tried it; but have had a great interest in it since seeing it in a P&C catalogue, but it was out of stock for so long and sadly, the price is too high in my opinion. So, I contacted Vincent Manil and we actually struck up a conversation. He is going to let me know if shipping direct to customers in the US is workable, but he doesn't forsee much of a problem with it. And he sells a half pound for $25. And once he know the shipping situation, he is going to see about shipping me a brick to try. I'll letcha know how it goes and ship some out for ya if I get a brick.
