I ran across a Winslow hand cut, freehand bent pipe that had a "pre-carbonized layer". What does that mean and should it be removed before smoking?

I've also bought pipes that were pre carbonized, I didn't remove it. I believe It's just for easier cake build
Pre-Carbonized (Pipe)

A finish applied to the Briar Bowl Chamber which intends to mimic the effects of Carbonization.

The fellow that's selling it indicated he would remove it if you wanted so, I was wondering whether it should or not be removed. I hadn't ran across that before. Seems like a fair idea to me.

My understanding is a lot of new pipes have that; I looked at a Sav at the B&M last week that had one. The Grabow I started with had one and it started to build a cake within a week. As it was explained to me, it's to help protect the blow and speed break in/cake buildup. I've read that some think the cake that forms on it isn't very strong though so I imagine that as with most things pipe related YMMV.

Yep, it's new. I hadn't run up on that term before and didn't know. I'm just looking at it-not sure about a purchase yet.(famous last words)

If I decide to get it I'll leave it be. Now, if I can just remember where I saw it!! I've been looking at too many different places and didn't snag the URL.

It's not the crown. I have one of those. I'm still trying to find where I saw it.
OK-I found it. Reading further, I don't like the idea of the filter adapter.

Peterson of Dublin typically pre-carbonizes most, if not all, of their pipes. I like it. The pre-carbonized bowl tends to break in faster and doesn't have as strange a taste as bare briar.

Trying to remember...seems like my Peterson 307 was pre-carbonized now that I think about it but can't recall for sure.

All the new Petes I've purchased were pre-carbed. That's 3 system standards and the premier my wife got me.

I went as high as 275.00 on that pipe and he would only go down to 350.00. It is a great looking pipe that should be an awesome smoker. Good luck in getting a deal from him. He just relisted it after being on there for 28 days. Maybe he will go lower now.

I've got a hangup about the filter adapter thingy...may bypass it. I bid on a real nice 2 star Ferndown moments ago but someone bid a little higher. :(
