The bowl was so caked that you couldn't get a pinky finger in .. the carbon cracked the bowl on two sides , the shank was horrid etc ... in essence , completely broken and beyond . If I could thank the previous owner who abused the hell out of this thing , I would .
The Abused
You know the kind of pipe you see on ebay ... its so caked and nasty that no one wants them , for the most part . Thing is , they are really really truly broken in . Ive seen pipes in person that were so smoked that the interior type carbon was coming out the exterior of the bowl . Its like carbon from day 1 , 75 years ago , got pushed through the briar to the outside . After reaming and cleaning , the bowl weighed about nothing and smoked like God make it
It takes a good amount of work to bring a nasty abused to hell and back pipe back to life but sometimes itts totally worth it . Other times its totally not . Its a hit and miss thing , but when its a hit , its a trip
Im keeping this pipe in my truck and will be smoking it at work like a boss . I will smoke it until it explodes
