LoL I just bought a Parker 45 fountain pen set with 14k gold M nib. It's made in Australia so a bit rarer apparently.

Re: Filters; How do you deal with the tar?

I don't filter and only clean a pipe once it won't draw properly. A quick flick mid smoke clears the worst of the tar out of a gurgling pipe. I have a cool old school pipe cleaning device that socks out the tar, will post a picture next time I use it which will be once majority of my favorite pipes ...

Re: Latest Pipe Purchase 2023

The John Brumfit arrived today. It's exquisite. It's obviously well used as still has a fair bit of cake in the bowl. Stem is stuck in solid, won't try any more disassembly as don't know what that band is hiding. Very happy and will give it a very careful clean this weekend. Definitely won't be taki...

Re: What are you smoking? July 2023

Whole Leaf Yellow Twist Bud in My old Buescher Pipe Company Cob, it is my Fishing pipe and has been for a few swims over the years, but it's still holding together with help of the wire from a Champagne Cork.

Can't figure out how to do the banner thing.

Re: My Toilet Bowl

I have this same pipe, its even the same colour.
The filter stones are junk, waste of time.
