New Pipe - Black/Purplish Water?

I have a saying: "our imperfection is the source of our perfection". It certainly gives character.

It is acrylic, how do you twist it?
As for the tobacco itself: the vanilla is not overpowering but noticeable. Very pleasant smoke but it is a little bitter.

Others have suggested to place in refrig for while or you can let it dry out well after smoking. You can also coat the tenon with some wax to help removing in the future. Good luck, this is a common problem with a new or used pipe.

The pipe smoked well after cleaning it with just water and pipe cleaner. My older pipe does however give a cleaner and less bitter smoke.

Yep, just run water through it and then lit up and enjoy.

This pipe is quickly becoming my new favorite.

I wouldn't twist it. There is a fix for it, but if its not a huge issue I would leave it alone. You can make it worse.

Someone must have beat the crap out of that pipe for it to bleed black and purple. Not even blue!

I hate bowl coatings. I've only had a couple pipes that had a coating, and the first several smokes were terrible. Just give me the natural briar and let me break it in. I prefer the bare briar over the bowl coating any day. Ultimately, those pipes that had the bowl coatings, I don't own anymore. I sold them and used the money to buy some meerschaum pipes instead.
