Briar Exorcism. Can it be done?
Greg's method, with a few tweaks should work with Meerschaums, but I've yet to try it. The salt & alcohol method is not a good idea with a Meerschaum either. The more conservative approach consists of a good cleaning of the Pipe, with Everclear, a shank brush, Pipe cleaners and paper...- fred

Rope, Twist, Plug, Tobaccos?

Rope, Twist, Plug, Tobaccos?
