He also adds:Additionally, Sasieni coated their bowls.
All of my bent Sasienis, including two full bents, pass a cleaner. So, that doesn't give him a good deal of credibility on the bowl coating remark.-If you're new to Sasieni you're probably not looking at this, but if
you are please know that most bent Sasieni's do not pass
a pipe cleaner to the bowl. Buy a straight one.
