I buy these 3 pipes (all is real Briar, no other marks) and rack for bargain. Arrived today. Of course, first cleaning, salt and alcohol, but.... last pipe have a little hole on stem. Anybody know how to fix that? Thanks!   |

Igor, you have 3 options with that stem. If you have access to black superglue you can carefully fill the hole and sand it. Option 2 is to cut the stem and refile another button (not recommended). The third option is to send it to a pipe repair person for a new stem.
If you're handy with tools then the black superglue may be your best option.

Yo pi - a temporary workaround would be to use a Softie bit.

If you do try to repair it yourself, it helps if you put a pipecleaner that's been dipped in Vaseline (or similar) through the button side before doing the filling. That way the important stuff stays where it's supposed to be staying.
