My bite will oxidize a stem pretty quick, so I feel all of ya that experience the same problem.  That's why I bought a buffing wheel, pipe rouge, polishing compound and carnauba wax.  It's the mechanical version of saving time and sore thumbs sanding by hand, and it really is the only way to...

I wonder if the components are still around, but that combination got dropped. :hopefulface: 8)

BH, you and I haven't always been simpatico, but one thing we agreed upon is/was Oriental Dusk. I ran out of that stuff about four months ago and figured I'd wait until I was under the right disposable income again to order more. What a damn shame. Any reason why it's gone? 8)

D&B:  You're most excellent; something I wanted to point out.   :cheers: Timbo:   Philosophize all you like.   You're a better man than I.   I get crap for smoking a pipe and being called a "hipster."  Then pipe smokers think I'm a jerk because they offer me to try their McClelland and I thank...

...when you get the green parts all black'n'shiny again, I apply a very thin coating of lip balm all with some kind of sun protection factor (SPF) each time, all over the stem. I live in a place where we get more high UV-index sun than anywhere in the US (desert plus being around a mile up in...

Dude. Let's talk. :heart: :D

I think it was Mr. Huggett that sent these to me many moons ago, because he's the only one that I know who used an old plastic punch-letter label maker to label ziplock bags. :lol: James Fox Campanile - I reached for this little sealed jar, packed some time ago to prevent it from succumbing...

GLP Union Square and SG BBF are what delivered me from continued practice of the old saw "...newbies should smoke aromatics."  The relief was immense and immediate.   I was made to smoke VAs, apparently.   While Union Square still is a go-to and BBF is more of a rare re-visit, without...

Have fun with the JKP, Scotties. I haven't had any in a while, might be time to crack a tin. :D I always cheated and removed the strata in layers, cut it down to size with scissors or a knife. JKP lent itself a multi-purpose tobacco in that regard--I could get different smokes from...

Propaganda, sales or not, they didn't have an Internet to argue upon back then. :lol: How "lucky" we are. :mrgreen: 8)

Send that **** out west, please. We'll gladly take a few storms off the east's hands. 8)

Cool! You still have that Sav! I found some pictures of it the other day, it made me think of you. I hope you and the Sav are well. :D 8)

The whole "keep it simple" standard is something I prefer to hand over as advice to newbies.   Adding/accepting extras, gadgets, gimmicks and the like (the list is vast in pipeland) seem to complicate and lengthen the time it takes for tobacco to be found, pipes learned to be smoked...  ...

To be more precise, I smoke filter pipes (cobs) occasionally.  I never use filters, however.   :heart:   It takes a real masochist to be diligent with filters, I've noticed--especially the 6mm paper (Medico/Grabow) type and the 9mm charcoal nonsense.   Changed after only a few smokes, sure--I...

Filters of any kind are merely extra work. Some folks have gotten used to what they do and how they perform, but just like engines, the most fun ones are unfettered simplicity with no emissions controls. :) That said, the filter pipes I do smoke consist of mainly cobs. They smoke just...

...for when only the finest of grocery lists and sticky-note reminders must be penned... :lol:

* Unsolicited advice is a hidden worm fruit sellers will happily give at no charge. The more worms they give away, the more fruit they are proudly selling. 8)

Lo, there was one thing I forgot to mention in the review: ...of course, Greg lends most of his blends to improvement with age. Some of his stuff that gets a bit of criticism is, from what I can tell, due to people cracking a tin a little too early. Granted, there's a few blends in the GLP...

This is true. I still got him to stick the pink stick in his mouth. We're more alike than folks know. :heart: :lol: 8)

Please send this question to "Ask GL Pease"...: http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/ask-g-l-pease/ask-g-l-pease-to-debuts-on-pipesmagazinecom/ He may paraphrase it in context and answer in a knowledgeable, pithy manner. It's a good question. 8)
