An experiment of sorts, I've placed this bowl in water and will see what the effects are over a short period of time. I'll dry it slowly as to minimize, perhaps, the chance of cracking. It's a NOS vintage German pipe that's only been smoked less than a dozen times. I'm thinking it may be fine, who knows....
It's only been a short time and the water has turned a weak tea sort of colour. I'm not saying rinsing your pipes is a comparison, or wrong, detrimental or anything else. I'm of the opinion it's fine or the many members here using that method would have spoken up. I'm just curious and sacrificing a basket pipe ( maybe) is worth it.
