Update. I have just flushed a group 2 dunhill that I smoked few minutes ago and dry cleaned afterwards. Amazing how much gunk it still had. I wiped the chamber with paper towels and used tapered cleaners as well. The smell almost gone and looks dry and ready to smoke again. Probably the salt...- bersekero

But my pipe is straight so quite a few quantity of alcohol went to the mortise and probably made it damp. I thought of putting the pipe at an angle to prevent this but then alcohol escaped from the bowl and there where the danger of damaging the finish. If I used less alcohol it wouldn't be...- bersekero

Obviously I didn't read the salt-alcohol method carefully. Next time I will do as advised here and leave the stem in. Of course I will try the water flush also, again with stem in. Thanks a lot everybody.- bersekero

This happened to me with Erinmore. Not only it tasted like grass. It bit like a snake no matter what I did and how well I dried it. For that money I could get a 965 and put a smile on my face.- bersekero

Luxury Estates or Excellent New Pipes?
Planofman it felt great to be the first person who smoked that fantastic Radice and the humble savinelli and chacom. Like taking their virginity. The chacom is long sold by the way. Didn't like it. I got back 2/3 of the price.- bersekero

Is that an army mount? It doesn't have the metal thing where the stem is inserted. While looking for my next Radice I saw that they use this system quite a lot and I find it very nice. Is it strong or does it need attention?- bersekero

Do You Have Any Pipes You DON'T Smoke?
I smoke all my pipes but I have only 7 briars. Need to buy more. If I don't like a pipe I don't hide it, I sell it. I am new to pipe smoking and I have already sold or returned 3 pipes. My next purchases will be more careful. Also I do not like collecting things I don't use.- bersekero
