Gents,
I'm in the market for a couple of new pipes, one of which is a Savenelli Bing's Favorite, but it's been over a dozen years since I have broken in a new pipe (I've bought estate pipes for many years). I was hoping for some advice on how to break in a new pipe. I seem to recall some people advising lining the bowl with a thin layer of honey, or water (or a combination of both) to promote carbon build up, to smoke half bowls for a while, etc.
I would greatly appreciate any advice that fellow members might be able to offer.
Cheers,
Craig
