Pipe Dreamer and Star Gazer
@telescopes who do you send to for cleaning and ozoning?
Briarville. Rich is very affordable, especially if you send in 4 pipes at a time. The ozone is an extra cost, but it destroys bad smells left over from years of neglect. One recommendation: be very clear on what you expect to have completed. Pipe cleaning is very different than restoration. I lean toward the latter. I want the rim restored, the bit fully removed of marks and chatter, and the inside of the stummel to be scrubbed back to bare wood. He is great at matching stains so have any dents removed if they bother you. There are other restorers out there and I am not suggesting Briarville is the best. But they have a quick turn around and they get back when I call.

The fierce winds made it tough to walk up the hill, and blew me down the hill when I reversed course, and smoked more of this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem than I did. Whew!!
