I've been smoking for a while now, and no matter how slow I go, my bowl still gurgles...I'm an aromatic lover at heart, and I know some of them are just that damp, but am I doing anything wrong?
I've found that the Boswell blends have a nice flavor, depending on if I use one of my Nordings or a basket...I've found that the pipe you use is VERY important. I got my estate back from Boswell after he gave me a new stem and clean, and I find it to be the best smoker I own, whether aro or non...
As a diehard fan (reading Sherlock actually got me into pipes initially), thanks for all the information. Because of him, I only smoke out of bent stem pipes.
I'm looking at a few and wanted to know what you all thought of them. Are the better than a "traditional" way of manufacturing a pipe? Pros/cons? Fel free to elaborate.
An update--I was at work and an engineer tried to get it out using a very tiny drill bit..it was working until the stem cracked and the pipe cleaner started to push through. Ah well, hopefully I can find a place that can semi- match the stem, it was a beauty. I'll talk numbers with the guys...
Yes, a much older pipe. My guess it was made at least 20 years ago. Yeah, I've tried the opposite end job to no avail. I probably will have to find some guitar strings; I was thinking of that concept. I honestly think that all isn't lost, just that to restore it to pre-clog will take some work...
Yeah it broke..I believe I was a bit overzealous in trying to pull it out, because it kinda bent. When I gingerly pulled, it came right off. I was thinking about soaking the whole stem in atmos fresholator, and I've been online looking for something that would break the cotton down. If it's any...
I was giving the pipe I got off of Ebay the once over before i filled it or a test run. I guess i used too much pressure because there is now a small section of pipe cleaner IN THE STEM that I can't get out! please help!
*UPDATE*
Just bought some FMOTB..another winner. I have this HUGE plain Peterson, shamrock style, that I got for $32 at 50% off, and I love it...my buddy at Holt's also gave me a sample of McClelland's black shag (in honor of Sherlock Holmes), and I'm about to fire up right now. Reviews later.
