Pipe Cap

[Buster]

Ive been eying the Savineli Tortuga bulldog for quite a while. I save all the corks from my scotch bottles. I use them when I tie flies. When I put glue on them I stick them in a cork to dry. So today I had a moment of inspiration. I got my favorite pocket friendly pipe and tried some corks for size. I chose one from a bottle of Shackleton that I just finished this weekend. Cut the cork down by half or more. It turned out pretty nice. What do you think?

Great, now I have to go buy a bottle of Blanton's just for the cork.

I'm just dying to see the size of stopper Mike H finds for that monster of a pipe he posted.

I like it!

I have a bucket of corks from wine, champagne, and whiskey bottles, I never thought to stick one in a pipe.

Whiskey Badger, this is the pipe that inspired my project.

I use them as pipe tampers every time I lose mine (it always turns up months after).
