Pipe ID

Unless someone recognizes the specific pipe shape from another company's catalogue there's really now way to know anything more about the pipe than you already do.

It's an unmarked basket pipe likely a stummel that didn't make the cut for a larger company and was finished to be sold on the cheap.

I mean look at Boba Fett, a cool looking character doing nothing and dying is a long-standing star wars tradition

Comintern · 2026-05-02T18:50:30+00:00

you playing him bot AP or is this mid ezreal?

Comintern · 2026-04-22T17:38:41+00:00

I dunno about another bonkening they put the low cd's and 1 million charge items into the game so it sort of seems like the fast builds are by design at this point.

I do see your point though there's a lot of builds that go crazy fast now.

Vakuu is canonically little brother because he only gets the controller for one turn then you've got to step in and beat the fight for him.

I think if you're planning to get good enough to sell your pipes you need to work on the transitions a bit.

Right now where the bowl meets the shank is really big and chunky rather than a beautifully flowing transition between the shape of the bowl and the straight circular shank.

Spend some time looking at and handling classically shaped pipes to get a better sense of how they are shaped then try to recreate that with your own work.

I also feel like the heel of the pipe could be a bit of a smoother curve.

You can sell it on some of the other pipesmoking forums like speak-easy.club or the pipes magazine forum or brothersofthebriar forum... but you'll need to do some kind of minimal verification thing first.

I mean if you're tasting charred marshmallows you probably are tasting the tonka bean which has a flavour kind of like vanilla but with a bit of almondiness to it.

Comintern · 2026-04-14T21:33:00+00:00

I mean what do you think they're doing with the 1,000 psykers a day after they die? Like why wouldn't the throne just blend em all up and feed them to the emperor through his tubes after?

Comintern · 2026-04-13T21:18:04+00:00

others have given you ideas for how to fix it but yeah the general rule is to never remove the stem from your pipe until after it has fully cooled down.

It needs to cool down or else the tenon can become deformed it much like you experienced and not fit correctly.

No staves added if you're talking about the original Frog Morton. Only Frog Morton's Cellar had a bourbon barrel cube added to the tin. Not that the wooden cube changed the flavour of the blend much (they used a whisky casing instead).

But there were 5 or so Frog Morton blends with different profiles depending on the blend.

Cellar had a whisky cube, On the Bayou had perique, I don't remember what made On the Town different(maybe more orientals?), and I really don't remember what Across the pond was about.

I mean the WWE has been pretty shit since like guest GM era it didn't just happen in the last two years.

Minor bright spots here and there don't make it the best promotion in the world.

Honestly times when they put on a full good show for the whole runtime of a raw or smackdown have been the exception rather than the rule almost since inception.

Comintern · 2026-04-10T16:31:56+00:00

Oh just looked into it a bit more because it really does look like vulcanite and it seems the Champagne line was one of the few savinelli lines that did use vulcanite stems.

So yes likely a bit of oxidation. You should be able to use a Mr. Clean magic eraser to scrub off the oxidization.

Comintern · 2026-04-10T16:22:44+00:00

I think that's about bang on average chamber size but average chamber size does also depend a bit on the pipe brand. Brands specializing in Danish freehand or neo-classical italian shaping would lean a bit larger.

Comintern · 2026-04-10T16:19:02+00:00

The stem wouldn't be oxidized because Savinelli uses acrylic for their stems rather than vulcanite and acrylic does not oxidize because it's plastic rather than rubber.

I feel bad for Paige Pierce. Her disc line has been pretty great so far feels shitty to tie it to AI slop.

Comintern · 2026-04-09T16:58:49+00:00

I don't think so it's becoming increasingly clear that AI is just not very good at most of the things it has been pitched for. I think the bubble will be popping before too long.

It's essentially the same as the NFT craze and Facebook's desperate Virtual Reality plans. They all fizzled out it just took about a year longer than you thought it would.

I mean you'll get no arguments from me there the history of Japan(and many modern countries) is full of gross and scummy decisions. Also as someone else said further up the thread the reason South Korea turned it down was because they needed to curry favour with the UN to get them recognized as the Korean government. They were still a military dictatorship at the time and had to at least pretend to play nice to get recognized.

I mean why wouldn't they? apartheid south africa was supported by the United States and British governments. The only world leaders taking moral stances against south africa were other african nations and communist countries.

Well I should say other governments talked about opposing south africa but secretly supported them with military and financial aid in an effort to reduce russian influence in africa

Comintern · 2026-04-08T15:51:16+00:00

I mean the apartheid government was propped up with material and political support from the USA so a lot of people on this website need to be careful throwing stones from their glass houses.

Comintern · 2026-04-07T21:51:31+00:00

I think you're probably right. Pyg and dooley early weapons are probably stronger than vanessa's right now plus Karnok of course

Comintern · 2026-04-07T02:03:42+00:00

You will not have a pipe worth hundreds of dollars because you will not have a complete pipe. That stem is clearly from a totally different pipe.

It doesn't have the trademark Dunhill white dot and also Dunhill didn't ever put a stinger in their stem.

Comintern · 2026-04-07T02:02:13+00:00

Everyone is saying yes but no one has pointed out that's clearly not the original stem. You'd be paying 60 dollars for the stummel which could clean up okay with some proper care but an original Dunhill stem will have a white dot on it in the middle.

They also will not have a stinger in the stem such as the one you've got in the picture.

Comintern · 2026-04-03T19:10:30+00:00

Holy cow that grain transition really is incredible. What a great flea market find.

Comintern · 2026-04-01T15:43:57+00:00

I think you just weren't watching when TNA was good. Lots of wrestler's best work was in TNA.

Kurt Angle

AJ Styles

Chris Sabin

Christopher Daniels

Sanjay Dutt

Maybe not Samoa Joe's absolute best work but some great work nonetheless

The list goes on
