No, not at this point. I've had a couple of pipes with plain briar bowls, and my Falcons seem to have no coating except for the finish on the pipe, with which they painted the interior. But it comes right off with a slight scraping, and a smoking finished it off. I know they are out there. But . . . no more pipes this year!! I only bought these two because of the reasons stated at the beginning of the post . . and the fact that I'm weak.
I like sour cream with pierogi
Same. Alternatively, ranch dressing is nice when you want to change it up.
That's odd. The only coating I've had in a Peterson came out quite easily.
It's pretty much broken in now and had a bit of a carbon cake on it when I posted this thread . . . . I didn't know any of this stuff until recently and was quite frustrated. I'm planning on buying a straight Peterson in the fall. I'll be equiped with new knowledge. Thanks!
I've had the same experience as @FLDRD; just a little water and paper towel and it was all gone.
Hmmmm . . . the thought has struck me that my Peterson (and my Savinelli) are both rusticated. Was yours? I'm also noticing that my Falcons are the worst of all to break in, and they definitely have varnished the inside of their bowls with the same compound with which they stained their bowls. I have a third bowl I haven't touched, and a friend of mine whose hobby is restoring old radios and cabinets, says there is no question about that, and burning varnish would not taste good. I'm finding that out right now. I'm looking forward to all of this breaking in just finishing. It's the most unpleasant part of pipe smoking. When I buy a new Peterson in the fall, I'm going to make sure it's a plain briar pipe with no rustication, and scrub the crap out of it.

(Sorry for the cut and paste job but I didn't have time to do things twice today
)
It was a smooth but I think it has the newer bowl coating from the late 2010s. I don't know if yours was older and had the old bowl coating. I don't have experience with the older coating though so I couldn't tell you if that was tough to remove.
Thanks. I'll certainly have a better idea of it now, and will try soaking it out when the time comes.
It's to have offerings to different customers. Some like the finished look of a chamber coating versus bare wood.
That's all it is, boys and girls. But I am sure you have a different view.
The Brighams have arrived. They look very nice, entry level without all the silver do-dads, and the bowl interior is quite unlike anything I've ever seen. On my lunch now . . . I'll do a couple of snaps for you this evening and post them in this thread.
