This is working on the assumption that the tars and all that build up are water soluble I guess. It seems as if it would be a little hard on cake, but reaming would be a non-issue.

I would guess it was a great idea that worked horribly.

Here's a Manhattan pipe ad from 1913. One of my favorite old brands!

Yeah...I can't imagine hooking my pipe up to a water faucet and giving it the gun!

It is possible I could try this on an estate some day just for the experience. It seems as if some surgical tubing could be made to work. I doubt it though...

Well, it's not an ad, but a cute cartoon from 1947.

Kaywoodie accents the male look. Everyone knows that!
