Cleanest Pipe Ever, or Horrible Ghosting?

[joshwolftree]

I'll find out in a few days, I suppose.

While out at the campsite, while preforming a particularly harrowing maneuver in a golf cart I managed to bite down on the stem of one of my cobs hard enough to cause a crack in the side. Since it's one of my favorite campsite smokers, I decided to let it cool down and shoved the bowl into my pocket with the intent of replacing the stem when I got home. Then promptly grabbed another cob out of the otter box in the tent and went about my day. Well this morning I ran the laundry from the campsite, forgetting of course, that my bowl was in a pocket. So when I went to change of to the dryer what should I find in the bottom of the washing machine but a lonely MM bowl, soaking wet, cold, and looking at me with that reproachful, how could you, set in it's shank.
It's currently sitting in a pipe stand, sans stem, drying to dry out, so in a few day's I guess I'll know weather it is still smokable or if it will be ghosted with country meadow, from the detergent.

Hehe.
I'm betting you'll get a bit of soap taste and smell for a few smokes. But its better then drying it. Once one of the baggers at the grocery store put drier sheets in with some baked goods.....you couldn't get that taste out.

$4.99 ?????

$4.99 ?????

Maybe it's the "how could you" look the pipe was giving Josh. :laughat:

I think it is not the price but the principle of the matter. Let us know how this works out.

I bet it will be fine, let it dry for a week. I'm intrigued to know how it works out!

Its not just the $4.99, its all the great memories that the pipe has given you. I also enjoy the way my cobs color over time. I hope your cob lives to smoke another day.

Maybe you found a faster & easier way to clean pipes!

 

[bigboi]

well, at least now you know your washing machine works.

I would say that if bubbles come out instead of smoke, it's definitely time to replace it. But I'm willing to bet it recovers just fine and gives you many more great smokes. Corn is a hardy substance.

So, what's the verdict?

At least it was a cob and not a briar or a meer.
