    Bad Taste after Cleaning.

    I have a Comoy's estate that has a very bad taste to it, to me it taste like what the Decatur pipe shield (wax) smell's like. When I got this pipe it was filthy, I used Everclear to unclog the stem, then an Oxy-clean soak, sand and buff. I reamed the bowl and did a salt treatment, EC and sea...
