Greetings to you all, We are full well aware ( are we ? ) that cleaning acrylic pipe stems with alcohol is not agreeable. How about a paste from baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate ) and water on a pipe cleaner ? Please share your opinions .

This is an UNSMOKED G. Huybrecht London Castle pipe and it is on its way to me. I'm so very, very chuffed .

Dear friends, The little notch headed brass screws neatly tightened in the same horizontal position and the lovely ivorine ( celluloid ) looking Alfred Dunhill LTD. inlay . I liked it so much I could not refrain. My gut feeling tells me it is from the thirties,but this could be wishful thinking...

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) This very legit Sasieni patent was shipped to me by Jud. She did not come mean, but I suspected so much potential. Gents was I right, she's now halfway the clean up and already so outstandingly pretty : Original stem, no tooth marks, moderate...

A many good morrows to you all ! About burn marks : I know how to deal wirh burn marks on the rim, but how to remove them if they are present on (for instance) the front of the bowl ? We do not want to alter the shape of the pipe, so sanding and filling is possibly not an option on a smooth...
