Enjoying my after work pipe with you this evening. I do not know any pipe smokers in my town so I usually read today’s news or watch a ytpc presenter while smoking. I’ve watched your video on straight Virginias and ordered an ounce of Luxury twist flake and 507C to start with. Your content today was excellent.
Thank you! 🙏🏻 I’m in a similar boat in that most of my pipe pals aren’t close by…so the YTPC is a great boon of fellowship. Thank you for sharing a bowl with me and happy piping!
Love OGS, it’s an easy and tasty smoke especially in the warmer seasons. Though I have to disagree on the lack of topping, to me it is quite flavoured but in a real good way
Hey there! I have another newbie question for you... What is a “stinger”, and what is its purpose? I think it’s referred to as a stinger. I searched for a name, and that’s all that I could come up with... I’m referring to a piece of metal found only in some pipes when you remove the stem from the shank. It’s where the filter normally would be. I guess you can’t use a filter in these sort of pipes? I don’t know anything about this piece, hoping you can help me out? Thanks!
I'm not sure I'm familiar with that name, but there are some pipe construction styles that use a metal tube as the 'shank' to connect stem and stummel. If it's a loose piece, then I would assume it's a filler for where the filter would normally go. But, I'd have to look at what you're talking about.
@@calebwhiteknives while browsing through the Dr Grabow pipes on eBay, I’ve come across a few. The part I’m speaking of is attached to the threaded part that attaches the two main parts of the pipe together. I just can’t make out what it’s purpose is... The threads hold the pipe together, so why have this protrusion? I don’t know. Thanks anyway.
@@airadaimagery692 Most likely a filler...for structure or something. Very interesting. I may have to pic of a Grabow and dig into it out of curiosity now....for uh, science! The science of piping.😄
@@calebwhiteknives now that I have been thinking about it, I believe that TSA would most likely frown upon this pipe, and even possibly take it away from you if they were to find it in your bag if you had it separated into two parts. If you go on eBay right now and punch in “the nicest Dr Grabow on eBay” in the search bar, one of these pipes should be the first to pop up. The one that I am speaking of has a price of $149. But there are several more of them listed, and not all of these metal pieces that I’m speaking of are shaped the same. Some have sharp pointy tips, and others are rounded off and ball shaped at the tip. I’m really curious as to what this is all about...
@@airadaimagery692 I’m a little familiar with stingers because I collect Kaywoodies. Stingers are basically a gimmick introduced in the 1920’s I believe to “condense” the smoke, relieving some of the heat and moisture. Some stingers are removable, some are integral to the pipes construction, some people saw them off, leaving the threaded part of the tenon in place. They definitely constrict the draw a bit but I don’t mind them, in fact I prefer them intact on vintage pipes. There have been myriad of stinger designs throughout the years, primarily early to mid 20th century. Pipes with stinger’s often gurgle so I see why they fell out of fashion. Charcoal is a much better filtration device but then again stinger’s weren’t invented to filter, rather remove moisture. Hot smoke hit’s cool metal and voila… condensation, hopefully trapping the water droplets in the mechanism, releasing a cooler drier smoke. They also prevent bits of tobacco from entering one’s mouth, although proper packing will prevent that. That’s about all I know I’m afraid, I hope you find this helpful.
