Greetings friends,
I have just received a leather-wrapped, meerschaum-lined bent billiard, Kilimanjaro Kiko with extreme dottle cake.
Seriously... look at the pictures. I have never seen the like. It is caked to the point where inside it looks like a funnel with only a small hole in the center to allow smoke to pass through. Even the stem is so filled you can't pass a pipe cleaner through.
Pictures:
1 the pipe
2 top view
3 a match in the bowl to give perspective of the narrow hole through the cake
4 the match marked to show how high up the bowl the cake is before it enters the hole.
I would love to hear your advice on this. Also, note that I am in Uganda with limited supplies... (no pipe shop here.) I have searched for rubbing/isopropyl alcohol worth no luck (I think it's all being used for hand-sanitizer... covid wins again.)
The only alcohol I have is a bottle of Uganda Waragi someone me.
Thanks in advance.
