Pipe Mud - the Miracle Salvage Compound

[Branzig]

yeah it really sucks having to smoke a cigar or two to get some ash lol

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it

I read somewhere that hardwood ash also works great, possibly curing even harder than cigar ash.

I am guessing you read it at Pipesmagazine. There is a guy over there that posted a huge expose regarding using ash from his fireplace. A lot of people claim it is way harder and stronger than using tobacco ash. I have never done it myself...

I have used roofing cement to great effect though...
