Hi. After the long winter brake, the warmer days allow me to enjoy my pipes again (in my garden). So I'm back in business. As I was inspecting my pipes collection that rested during winter I was appalled by how bad they smell. They got a routine after smoking cleaning (pipe cleaner trough mouthpiece and shank) in fall and rested open on my pipe rack in my garage. No salt treatment or such. I don't think they taste bad but it is that cold smoke smell that I really don't like and that almost stopped me from lighting one. Should I give them some more attention bevor putting them to winter hype bernardino? Is that nasty smell something you just have to live with (as long as they taste fine when smoked). How much do you give them a salt treatment? Are there other procedures that you recommend?
