Last week I received a grab bag from MM. Couple of pipes have an issue and MM replacing those,Great CS. Some of the pipes have a lacquer finish and fell wet when touched. Just let them dry in the sun,I guess?
Ben,
Do they actually feel wet, or just slick? If actually wet, I'd take booker's advise and leave 'em to dry, but probably not in direct sunlight.
I would NOT try to smoke them wet. Damp pipe sounds like a recipe for tongue burn!
Well, not really wet. Sorry I did not express my self more clearly. Sort of sticky. when I tried smoking one, it felt like it leached a bit some "sap" - it became stickier and shinier. And on the rim, I would say, even caramelized.
