Re: Just slipped over the Edge!!!
Sweet score, bro.
Probably want to think about a salt / alcohol treatment, (for the pipe... not you), that can be found in the FAQ portion of this forum. ...And the "how to clean an estate pipe", found in this forum.... and the "refurbishing an Ebay estate" found in this forum...

Re: Just slipped over the Edge!!!
I just clean 'em up (inside stem and in & out on bit) with alcohol mainly to sterilize everything. Keep the cleaner off the external wood comonents. I save the salt treatment until I try smoking it first with some inexpensive and non-flavored mixture. You can try lightly scraping the coating inside the bowl with a pipe scraping tool (nothing sharp) and if the gunk you remove is soft and tar-like it needs a thorough cleaning. I would go ahead with the salt treatment.
A friend who quit pipes gave me his old ones and one had that soft-tarry coating. Don't know what he was smoking! It was like the tobacco never really got hot enough to burn well. I bought two nice pipes once that had a huge build-up of cake. Like over half the bowl diameter. I removed most of it with my pipe reamer. They both ended up fine smokers. ![]()
