Just loaded up this modified Missouri Meerschaum General for the first time, which I turned into a stubby nosewarmer. Going to work on the buffing a bit more and I'm waiting on a Vermont Freehand stem that will make this even shorter, but it's good to go for a spin now. Smoking some Accountant's Mixture.
Has anybody else here ever modded a corncob pipe? Just finished this Missouri Meerschaum General modification; I created a contrast stain by applying dye, sanding, and repeating several times. I then gave it two coats of shellac and buffed it with carnuba wax. I also shortened (albeit only slightly) the bowl and the wood stem before applying a silver ferrule and a forever stem.
The inaugural smoke is going to be C&D Pegasus.
