Hey There Gents,
I just bought this Estella on Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Wood-ESTELLA-Hand-Made-Italy-Tobacco-Smoking-Pipe-Bowl-/141524748117?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=rzH1t3E5mCBIxsOTz5WmyE%252FP%252BgU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
I'm really excited about the purchase, and have heard some great things from Estella owners. The pipe has some bit damage, but it doesn't matter to me. I think the pipe is beautiful. It does look like it has rim darkening. Anyone have some tips for cleaning that up? Should I just go to town with some cu-tips and good ol' fashion saliva?
