I recently purchased my very first estate pipe, a nice Becker & Musico bulldog with a silver spigot.
It arrived looking like new, very clean and with no smell at all coming from the chamber.
I still wanted to give it a good cleaning of my own and for that I invested in a small bottle of Brebbia Pipe Clean.
I cleaned it a couple of days ago, and it did have a light peppermint scent when I left it to dry, but not too unpleasant.
Today I'm having the first smoke, and there is no mistaking it: My otherwise sweet and gentle Virginia flake has a not so subtle aftertaste of toothpaste! 8O
Does anyone have experience with this brand of "sweetener"? Will the taste go away after a few bowls?
On the positive side, the draw is perfect and the blast feels really nice.
