    Clogged Briar Pipe

    Try clearing the resin with a small hand held drill bit. Do not use a drill or dremel tool. Probably a 5/32 drill bit held in a pair of pliers, gently rotated will clear the air passage. Be careful not to damage the bowl.

    Salt Treatment Question

    Nearly all my pipes have been estate purchases. Thanks to the information gleaned here I use a salt/alcohol, retort, stem cleaning and general cleaning and polishing before using an estate pipe. All these steps have been covered in this forum and are simple skills. I do not hesitate to send a...

    Metro-Detroit Pipe Club?

    Duckfat, I'd have to get a chicken lunch at Zehnder's. Or if I felt like abusing my system a BLT at John's in Birch Run. As far as Paul's, that has to be one of the top pipe shops in the US. Enjoy your trip, when I come home to visit (no time soon) I'll check to see if you guys are getting together.
