A few of my dad's guns he built, WL COCHRAN, haven't been shooting in years, no black powder clubs left around Tulsa and don't want to drive to OKC, sure miss the Rendezvous !!!!
 
that is a great piece to have. do you smoke it at rendezvous'? a rare bird indeed! thanks for the history on it! there is as I said the photo's have so much in them that it takes your eyes all over the place! thanks' for posting & sharing with us! toot.
I smoke it at ‘voo, on the trail and in the house.
move broke my share of Cutty pipes but never a reed stemmed. I have several thirty and forty year old modern made reed stems.All in broke. I think I’m not risking an heirloom piece by use.
 
Got to fondle my latest acquisition but couldn't bring it home just yet

if I may ask? where do you get modern made reed stems? glad you enjoy smocking them. is CUTTY, the correct name of them? I recently got one off of E-BAY, and it was advertised as an old fashion Childs knee. and they sure look like one. so I bought it knowing what it rely was. I paid $ 35.00, was that too much? and I plan to smoke, CAPTAIN JACK, BLACK, not GOLD. in it, ever heard of it in your neck of the woods?
 
Cutty is the name I’ve always heard for a one piece clay pipe, where stem and bowl are all one casting.
Most muzzleloading houses offer reed stem pipes. Jas.Townsend and son, Crazy Crow, Jedidiah Star,Turkey Foot traders, ect. They run about ten dollars. All are on line.
If you have a tobacco shop near you or you can get it on line bulk tobaccos tend to taste better then pre packaged. Captain Jack ect in the little 2oz bag tend to use some sort of sugar or alcohol as a preservative, that makes the smoke a little hotter and you’ll note some bitterness
Bulk tend to smoke cooler.
