Evening, all.
I frequently see Roadtown pipes on eBay, and many of them really catch my eye. The only reason I haven't ever purchased one is stories I've heard of "off" tastes when smoked. I'm pretty handy with refurbishing and altering pipes, so if it was just a bowl coating or something, I'd be happy to take the risk and fiddle with one, but if it's some sort of unsafe chemical used in the production, then I'd rather not. Does anybody have any experience with these? Are there any survivors out there who have smoked a chemical tasting Roadtown pipe and are still alive to tell about it haha?
