The Digby is Home After 6 Weeks!

Awhile ago I purchase this Digby Prince. The bowl was in great shape, but the stem had 3 small cracks in it (which the seller told me about). It also stunk. I decided to send it to Walkers for ozone and a new stem.
This is the before picture:


This is the after. It still smelled so I did a salt and alchol treatment. The stem was marked as a black/blue, but is really a dark blue. Not sure about the color, it will grow on me I'm sure, but I wish I'd gone with a black/grey. I can not say enough about the quality of workmanship that Mike did. The stem fit is outstanding!


This is a picture for Al. We both have Westies and collect terrier smoking items.

Did the salt/alcohol treatment work?

The salt & alchol treatment did work! I had to do it 3 times before the stink was gone, and my Everclear supply is getting low, but it was worth it.
The only issue was that I used my wife's pink Himilayan salt instead of the Kosher and got my ears pinned. (Evidently the Kosher is a lot less expensive).

Very nice, does it have a shape number? (looks like the GBD 357 shape).
I also like that Cairn terrier stand!

Very nice! I like that stem personally, I think it looks great on that pipe!

Yes, it's a 357. I put it next to my Irish Seconds Prince and it's was quite a bit smaller so I have some variety there.
