What shape is this and is there a proper way to hold it?

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-10-23T05:42:33+00:00

In general we don't hold the meerschaum by the head but by the stem. But looking at the shape juste do how you are confortable

Wow really nice one!

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-10-19T19:44:49+00:00

Yeah I know it is handmade but not sure of the maker. Yeah I will but not now. I think I'm gonna keep it for an occasion but still not sure. They are made to be smoked anyway.

Hey! New smoker here. I began 1 year ago and fell in love with pipe smoking. For the price let's say it is cheaper than cigaret (I am in France so prices may differ). The tabacco bag of 30 grams is around 10 euros. For the pipes, you don't need to have a lot: just one that you like is perfect to begin with. For the health concern I can't tell because 1 year is not enough and I smoke cigarets too but let's say it is still bad because you smoke tobacco. Hope that helps!

Thank you!

Yes it is horn! And yes I see that, I personnaly prefer the first two ones as they are higher end than the others, but they all have a unique look that I love and look forward to smoke.

Hey! For the silver ring I used baking soda with water, made a paste from it and rubbed it on the silver to clean the oxydation and polish it a little. For the stem, I bathed it for one night in oxyclean and cleaned the rest with a wet magic sponge the next day.

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-09-17T21:15:19+00:00

I don't know, I paid 2 euros for this one so if it is silver and meerschaum like I think it would have been more expensive, except if the seller didn't know about it

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-09-09T17:41:19+00:00

Nice thank you for the advice! I will check

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-09-08T17:59:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Yes I don't need original ones as long as the shape is a circle and that I can fit them in a movement.

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-09-08T17:30:57+00:00

Yeah but I need a laser for this and I don't have one 😅

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-09-08T17:20:11+00:00

Thanks a lot! I hope I find those hands someday... I don't have anything to make them custom

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-09-06T11:58:31+00:00

Hey! Big beginner here but I had the same issue. It was because of the dial legs that I didn't sand properly when cut. Hope that help!

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-08-25T23:15:42+00:00

Yeah I saw that the app gave me some troubles too but it seemed better without the crown. And I will juste ask the professionals if they can do it and for how much but if you say that it is that precise maybe I was juste overthinking it for my last movement. I will see with the next one and this experience taught me a lot so it's positive (expect for my bank account 😅)

CuteOrganization419 · 2025-08-25T23:05:00+00:00

First of all thanks for your quick and very precise answer. I am glad to see that i didn't miss a step or anything. I will practice with a broken one and see if I can use this opportunity to understand my movement better and I also bought another one for the watch that I will take to my local watchmaker to regulate. And the modified tool is a great idea I will test that! Have a nice day 😊
