Did the ream job, looked like pipe had a ridge 2/3 inside of bowl , reamed it out, wasn't" very dirty , didn"t seem to have been smoked a lot, shank was xtra clean,did the alcohol/salt, loaded it up with Nitecap and for first smoke wasn't"t bad, bowl is bigger than it looks, maybe a 5 on grade scale, smoked it last night with La red and getting better, smoked cool even though cake has not built up, very pleased with pipe.
