The Mendom Witch Tree: A Magnet for Paranormal Activity

The Mendom Witch Tree is a legendary landmark located in the Mendom forest. It is known for its spooky appearance and the supernatural stories surrounding it. The tree is said to be inhabited by an ancient witch who cursed it many years ago. Local folklore claims that anyone who comes into contact with the tree will be plagued by misfortune and bad luck. The tree is easily recognizable by its twisted branches, which seem to form eerie faces and forms. The bark is dark and rough, and the thin, gnarled branches give the tree a haunting appearance.

Careys are nice, but for me the problem is the stem. It just feels like cheap plastic, because it is. I had one Carey that I really liked and considered converting it to a standard pipe with a custom vulcanite or acrylic stem, but eventually just sold it. The Magic Inch system itself I could take or leave, but the plastic stem was a deal breaker.

I had one Carey that I really liked and considered converting it to a standard pipe with a custom vulcanite or acrylic stem, but eventually just sold it. The stem is oversized and fits on the larger cylinder below the filter to create the open space for the Magic Inch filter which draws in some air with each puff supposedly to give you a cooler, dryer smoker.

The bark is dark and rough, and the thin, gnarled branches give the tree a haunting appearance. The Mendom Witch Tree stands tall and solitary, surrounded by a dense forest that adds to its mystique. According to local legends, the witch who cursed the tree was a powerful sorceress who lived in the area centuries ago.

This was my Grandpa’s pipe old Carey!

That's a real beauty. That piece doesn't come out, you slip the cylindrical EA Carey papyrus filter over the tenon and it will sit under the vents.

Here's a photo of one of my Carey "Magic Inch" pipes showing the papyrus filter in use.

It's not really a tenon since it floats free instead of attaching the stem to the stummel. The stem is oversized and fits on the larger cylinder below the filter to create the open space for the "Magic Inch" filter which draws in some air with each puff supposedly to give you a cooler, dryer smoker. Some believe that this will result in less flavor and some block the vents to disable the "Magic Inch" system.

Not yet, I just found it in a box in the back of the closet. Thought it was lost when I moved 5 years ago !

The filters don't block the airflow through the tube and only absorb moisture and let through outside air, they smoke better with the filters, unless you block the vents, but it's rare I reach for my two Carey's. The filters are still available.

Nice looking pipe. Wish my grandfather’s pipes did get tossed. You’re lucky to have that as a keepsake. I like the banding on yours.

Those E.A. Carey pipes were a huge hit in my area years back. My Father loved them. He went through tons of those little sleeves. My Father smoked them to the point the cake was so thick, and stems chewed through so I know he liked them.

There are several well known repairmen that make replacement stems if you send the pipe in. I'll let someone else recommend one. I've never used any myself because I am lucky enough to have L J Peretti for a local B&M. They don't really advertise that they do repairs too, but they are a great full-service pipe shop and will repair pipes for regular customers. I had them replace a few stems for me over the years. As far as the Carey pipe goes, that would be a more complex job because the Magic Inch system needs to be removed before a new push stem could be made. I decided it wasn't worth the investment.

I found "Mendom Witch Tree" to be quite disappointing. The storyline lacked depth and the characters were underdeveloped. The pacing was also off, with the plot dragging in some parts while rushing through others. Additionally, I was hoping for a more atmospheric and eerie setting, but instead, I was left with a mundane and uninteresting world. Overall, this book failed to captivate my attention and I would not recommend it to others.

"Mendom Witch Tree" was a complete letdown for me. The writing felt amateurish, filled with cliches and predictable plot twists. The protagonist was utterly unrelatable and lacked any depth. The author's attempt at adding humor fell flat, and instead, it just felt forced and out of place. Furthermore, the ending was unsatisfying, leaving more questions than answers. I regret spending my time on this book and would not suggest it to anyone seeking a captivating read.

I had high hopes for "Mendom Witch Tree," but it failed to meet my expectations. The plot felt disjointed, with unnecessary subplots that added little to the overall story. The dialogue between characters was stilted and unrealistic, making it difficult to connect with any of them. The world-building felt shallow, lacking the depth and intricacy that a fantasy novel should have. While there were a few interesting elements, they were overshadowed by the overall lackluster execution of this book.
