Just dry the pipe well. I'm sure it will be fine. Your pipe is not dead. No worries :puffpipe:

STOP! Your pipe is now in a state of flux. Put it down slowly. The water could well have effected the dylithum crystals in the fibers causeing a very unstable condition. I would suggest packing it carefully in bubble wrap and sending it to me for proper neutralization and disposal. If I can save just one life.

On one of these pipes overboard discussions, someone pointed out that briar is submerged multiple times in being carved and finished. With any wood product, you don't want to soak it. But falling in the water or going under a faucet will have substantially no effect. Recently, after reading similar advice on Forums, I ran my first Meerschaum, an estate pipe from fish'n'banjo, under the tap to clear out the bowl and shank. Later after I'd cleaned it up, bowl and stem, I took it to the local independent pipe shop and mentioned its bath. The assistant to the owner scoffed and scorned, as if I'd made a terrible blunder. Bolstered by other information, I just talked right past him, and the owner overhearing, also dropped the subject. In knowledge is power! The Meer smokes great, quite spiffy and clean.
