Thread: Pipe of the Day

Hey fellas, when I got to the barbershop today, I found that my estate Peterson meerschaum had arrived! I stuffed her full of Orlik, and was rewarded with an excellent smoke. This is my first meer, and I really like it-- although, the P-lip is going to take a little getting used to:


I got a really great deal on this pipe, because the seller had it listed as a Pioneer by mistake. The P-lip and the blurry pic of the markings had me convinced that it was a Pete; so, for 40 smackers, I took a shot. Here's a pic of it on a white background, it's already developed some nice color:


Also, the tenon is a little loose, any tricks for tightening it up?

Have you tried applying some beeswax (food grade) to your tenon?

Might have to get a new mouthpiece from peterson.Ask your local tobacconist or contact Peterson direct maybe ?

My new Mr. Brog pipe. Purchased as my "beater" pipe. Time to mow the lawn and take him for a test spin.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll give the beeswax a try first-- if that doesn't work, a new stem may be in order. I'd just hate for this bowl to fall off and break mid-smoke.

chay2K,

I have also read in a pipe/tobacco catalogue that applying some clear fingernail polish to the tenon will tighten it up too.

Started the day with some DD dark coffee black and some ojk in a dr grabow. Have a great day everyone
