That is one fine looking pipe, Frank. The whole bowl insert thing is cool.

That's certainly a interesting pipe sir. I have a couple vintage ones of this design in my collection but, have never smoked one.
You'll have to lets us know how it smokes.

That is very cool, Frank. Let us know how it smokes. I'm guessing it's a cool smoke.

Thank you Gentlemen! After the minor repair I will smoke it and it should be very much like a reverse calabash.

That's a nice looking pipe...even the nomenclature is attractive.

St....V..  I have been...er...lusting after the Captain Warren design for...well, we shan't go there...Likely you haven't been alive that long. I was able to nail on the 'bay--a delicious Savinelli--cork, of course, shot to Heck and back. Out of curiosity (and a lack of decent measuring devices--lost in D3)how thick was the cork you used? Width, that I can likely handle. Also, what adhesive did you use--would suspect some sort of heat-resistant type...what brand would be helpful... Thanks in advance... Bill in Manhattan... |

Actually a very nice looking pipe. Seems that there is nothing new under the sun in the pipe world. I have one of those new Nording Eriksen Keystone pipes that works in a similar fashion. Interesting.

That's an interesting pipe and all, but I think the photographs are cooler than the pipe!

Hi guys, I have to confess that I haven´t got around to fixing both my "Warren"-pipes yet. What I plan to use is cork that is used for adjusting the size of hats. You can get it from hat shops and mine is made by Stetson. Guess I need to have a go on both pipes soon....  |

You can also get sheets of cork at automotive supply stores.

I've been looking at cork, (natural, "manufactured" and synthetic) at a couple of musical instrument repair supply shops. Cork is used on saxophones, clarinets, some flutes and a couple of other woodwinds for joints, pads and bumpers. Costs vary...

Happy Holidays, all...
Kicked back and rainy Christmas Eve Day in NYC...
Quick update on my Savinelli Captain Warren. Got into a conversation with the US Savinelli distribution folks who in turn talked to the factory in Italy...ONE person there remembered the pipe model from the 1950s...and there wasn't even a sample left to help with the cork thickness.
SOOOO...Got a roll of cork from a hobby-sort of shop and after some abortive attempts got a piece in place. Used white Teflon thread tape as the "gap" filler and after trial and error, got a good seal.
Pipe is a pleasure to smoke...and a real PITA to clean. The tars and bowl ash does fall through to the outer cup; it does take a bit to really clean the residue.
Be well and have a great Holiday season.
