Pipe Newbie

I was going to try another bowl tonight until I realised there was a hole in the bottom of my cob :/ Is this caused by user error ?

No, cobs dint last as long as briar. If you have a cheaper model they put some of the clay they line the inside with in the bottom of the pipe. The dare I say more expensive ones have a hardwood plug in the bottom and should last a lot longer

I have just ordered the molto dolce, and maple street, smoking pipes.com will deliver to the UK. they are a US company who also distribute from Holland to reduce the postage times.

you may have to pay a small customs charge if they pick it up, but if you keep the orders small and sensible they will not bother as its too much hassle to chase you for ?1 in duty.
mine usually takes 10-12 days to arrive by their super saver international shipping, and usually I save upwards of 20% on buying similar in the UK if its available.

hope that helps, and I hope as they are a functional supplier to the UK I'm ok posting my experience on here, please amend if not

Moi?! Good shout BS

I have seen these. There is a small number of makers out there (not identical, but of a similar style) and I do wonder how you'd clean the bloody stem! You can get the church warden style cleaners and perhaps they'd be the go.

My friend has the bent stubby stem and apparently it is very easy to clean, warm water and a standard pipe cleaner. I imagine for the tall bent stem you would be right

I haven't decided on the new pipe yet but I did pick up some more samplers....

Great selection of pipe tobaccos. Looking forward to reading your reviews on these tobaccos when you have tried them.

oh my looks like a falcon has been attacked by a graphic artist. not quite my cup of tea but I can see it appealing to a certain niche

A friend in the states told me to check them out, apparently very good

some nice blends there.

I have just had both the ennerdale 50g ( and plug sample ) and chocolate and vanilla 50g delivered from GQ as well. id be very interested in hearing what you think of these from one novice to another. above all enjoy

I can also recommend dunhill dark navy rolls as a very nice smoke
