Now trying the Frankencake Mk ll, in a Longchamp, it’s better than it was but I’m leaving it for another month or two. The idea was to make Comoys Cornish more palatable, it’s worked in that respect but it’s still got a little bitterness to it in the last quarter. I’m hoping time will sort that out.

@Birddog66 Is that my birthday present?

@JimK I've had a few packets of St. Bruno Ready Rubbed in my clay pipes - This Redcoat recommends it!

Janus in Peterson SH Professor rusticated. Lightly rubbed, and took two sessions to finish. The bottom pipe is Peterson Carroll of Carrollton terracotta 225/245. Very, very, tiny, wee, miniature bowl. Half a flake kinda chamber, maybe.

About a third of a bowl left of KBV Festivus Pudding in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Been cleaning the stem sof the estate pipes I smoked. Some people did not know how to clean the inside of their stems. Whew!! But, I'm getting them very clean.

no one ever thought to question JimInks on the methods he employs to tidy his pipes, or have they?

Nope!

I use all kinds of pipe cleaners, Everclear, and water, too. And I scrub real hard.

I also appreciate that jiminks' cleaning regiment has been uncovered -- but I had another question, which you may have answered elsewhere or before: Do you have thoughts about the p-lip? (I've only just encountered it in the new recent Petersons I bought and I like it, certainly as a change in how tobaccos smoke.)
