I picked up a Chacom Maya poker estate recently and in the first bowl I noticed it 1) holds a lot of tobacco!! and 2) smokes a little warm. Now most of my pipes are rustic or sandblasted so I have never come across a pipe that is as shiny as this Chacom and I have a sneaking suspicion that the bowl has some sort of varnish finish. I'm wondering if stripping the finish might help the pipe breath a little better? Thoughts?
