Hello,
I have 2 pipes at my disposal and have recently converted to a daily smoker. My increased use has raised some issues. The first being with a Mr Brog Viking. Its a pear wood pipe and the issue I'm having is with the connection between stem and wood. It has become quite loose and I lose draw with it, as well as worry about it sliding apart whilst smoking. Is there a way to tighten this up so I can safely smoke it? My second issue is really due to being limited to a single pipe now. I smoke several bowls daily and primarily Captain Black Royal, though I have a pound of 1Q on the way. Since it's quite a wet smoke, and I evidently drool a lot, my pipe bowl has become sodden and has to go quite a while between smokes to avoid a horrific, snake venom like taste. Even with rest, both pipes have retained a rather awful taste. I have heard if pipe sweetening products, but due to financial constraints, as well as newness to the area (I don't know where to find locally) I was wondering if there is a recipe for a diy product I could try, and perhaps other recipes to clean them overall. I'm really hoping to restore these to operation. Thanks for the welcome and for reading this.
