Damn phone. One follow up (maybe dumb) question because I’m still learning. There’s no break in or other precautions that need to be taken as it’s already been smoked? Just smoke and keep it clean?
There are a lot of refurb guys out there. Briarville is just one of them. Reborn pipes is very very good. Remember that a pipe repair guy is different from a pipe refurbisher. A few guys are truly both.
I have been sending pipes I get on eBay to Steve at reborn pipes. Highly recommended. Great guy who does a great job. If I see something doubtful on eBay I always consult with him, and he had given me excellent advices.
