  • Beautiful Castellos! 

  • @zecrespo Thank you!

  • Can you do a extensive video on the salt treatment for cleaning a pipe. I remember watching one about your estate pipe that you were cleaning, a red one if i remember correctly (?). I recently havent been smoking my pipe or cleaning it for that matter. And i figured its about time i cleaned it again. I used alcohol and all that jazz, but it still has a strong scent and black color in the bowl.

    Think a salt treatment would help this?

  • @ChemicallAli Check out my playlists and go to the pipe cleaning one. :)

  • @SmokeRingsPipeDreams After dump out the salt and alcohol do you just clean the pipe like you would in a basic alcohol cleaning of a pipe? que-tips and a grain alcohol?

    Also just wondering about the procedure in general. Just pack the pipe with salt and add enough alcohol to make it moist and just leave it for a day?

  • @ChemicallAli I've left mine even longer. Be careful not to get the salt to moist, and you can do a second treatment if you need to. And yes, just use some alcohol to clean the salt residue out. Not rubbing alcohol.

  • @SmokeRingsPipeDreams I have four Zippo pipe lighters that I use, but I have been using matches exclusively for a while.

    Best,

    Bill

  • @PipeDreamsInc I will cover some of that in section two of my "how to smoke a pipe" series which should be out by spring. Have you considered useing a 90 degree angle butane lighter like the one I have? It really changed my enjoyment of a pipe for the better when I went away from matches.

  • @SmokeRingsPipeDreams Thanks. I'll try it. So how come I can't get my tobacco to stay lit? I use half a box of matches on one bowl?

    Best,

    Bill

  • Very well done man, your explanation was very well done. I think its awsome you do alot of your videos for guys/gals that have questions.

    As always, AWSOME video man!

    take care and smoke on
