    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    Unfortunately 48 hrs in a sealed plastic container with baking soda did not cure my pipes of the diesel smell from the Dunhill Bowl Polish. I bought a horsehair shoe brush with the intention to go over the bowl until I can get the rest of the polish out from the sandblasted finish. Although I...

    Documentary on Cornwall with Pipe Smoking.

    I found this video on youtube that I wanted to share with you all as it features pipe-smoking (at 18:51) and some interesting characters from that time and place that is West Cornwall in the 70s. Merry Christmas.

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    Update: I have decided to use the baking soda method. I will let the pipes rest for 48 hours and then smell them. Thank you all for your suggestions and I will keep you updated. Merry Christmas to all !

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    I am not the only one that has run into this odor problem. I googled it and found this review of the Dunhill bowl polish, posted 16 years ago. Here it goes: Discussion at Review - Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish - https://alt.smokers.pipes.narkive.com/jH4AYvFX/review-dunhill-pipe-bowl-polish Review -...

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    It is a rusticated pipe. I went over it with a toothbrush numerous times. I cannot find the ingredients to the Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish for the life of me. I looked all over the net. I would caution anyone using it. I think I can burn up this smell using the power of a smoldering cherry and...

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    Any opportunity to practice of the virtue of patience lol. I just don't want to ruin my Dunhills even more than I already have. Neglect might be a valid strategy.

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    I didnt put any paste into the chamber so I will not flush the chamber with water. As for detergent and water on the outside... I may try that in a month if this smell does not go away naturally on its own. It's only been 48 hrs. And Im not sure if the hot water rinse on the outside helped. but...

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    I tried rinsing the outside of the bowl with hot water for a min. and scrubbed with a tooth brush. Still smells. I am now smoking it. The heat makes the outside smell even more pronounced. Maybe I can kill this diesel odor over time just through normal smoking. But what a bummer. I will keep...

    Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish and Pipe Ghosting / Bad Smell

    Greetings all! Sorry to inform you that I have fouled up my two prized County Sandblasted Dunhills. I followed the instructions and put on the Dunhill Pipe Bowl Polish with my finger, left it on for a few minutes. I tried rubbing it off but couldn't get the smell out. So I put them briefly under...
