Don't clean out the chambers of your pipes so rigorously that you remove the carbon layer. You want that to insulate the briar itself. I just scoop out the ash and wipe out the bowl with an abrasive paper towel. That prevents cake, which I choose not to build, but maintains a carbon layer and the diameter of the chamber.
nah man you see what I am saying. Personally I hope when the aliens show up, that I get the karma of having one that keeps me as a pet and is as nice to me as I am to cats.
Same, but bought mine new in the 70s.Recognize this reamer? It's been around for years and you can still buy them. I have one I use all the time, but it's a little different from the new ones. It looks the same at first glance but there is a difference. I picked up mine about 20 years ago with a pipe collection I bought. It had been a gift to the owner and he never used it, so it was new in the box. If you compare it to a new one you can tell the workmanship is better and (I suspect) the steel is better. The cool thing about it is it was made in the U.S.A. back in the 1950s.

You've been telling me you're a reamer since you were 17
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean

Seattle's tunnel boring machine Bertha reaches end of long, troubled journey (VIDEO)
Bertha, the machine digging a 1.75 mile tunnel under Seattle to replace a waterfront bridge with an underground roadway, had just 30 feet of mining left at the beginning of the day Tuesday.
Yeah, what a clusterfuck that whole thing was. This quote from the article sums it up perfectly:Bertha ! 5mm per second :

"Only in bonkers, leftist Seattle would an absurdly stupid project that's massively behind schedule and over cost be considered a success,"
But if you want to ream a pipe ... Bertha is the way to go ... really improves the draw ... !!

For a minute there I thought this thread was going to turn into a famous water flush vs. non water flush thread.
I seem to be in the same school as mso and many others. Paper towel after a smoke and I'm good. Keeps the cake at bay and at an optimal thickness (very thin) for me.
