  • yes thank you great videos...many of these videos bore me to tears, yours I find both informative and entertaining, and i like that your wife smokes too!

    As a new pipe smoker I am also confused about cleaning the inside of the bowl and the cake? Can you basically clean the cake? as if it was a part of the wood? -very carefully? also I have bought some estate pipes that have caked already. what is your thought on leaving the cake and feeling lucky or cleaning it off etc...

  • @bangbangcfp yes you can clean the cake with q-tips and alcohol. Or tissue paper etc. Most pipers ream/scrap back the cake on old estates, then give it an alcohol clean and rebuild the cake up again. It really depends on how rough the pipe tastes, old cake layers will taste pretty bad. If the pipe has been used recently not so bad.

  • Man, I can't seem to build a good cake at the bottom of my bowl, any tips?

  • Try to smoke all the way to the bottom, smoke slower, shake up ash in the bowl when finished the pipe, this helps to speed up cake building....PS it's a common problem.

  • great great great 5 stars review,,i tried all the equipment reviewed other than arango spray which i replaced by the use of the denicota polish,,the pipe sweetner on the other hand is good but i still do prefer whisky although m a muslim but alcohol evaporate fast and i use it after m done with the pipe and get it bk to the rotation so by the time i tk it again no traces wt so ever will b there

    cheers

  • Ahmad, good to get feedback, the pipe spray does leave a slight 'toothpaste' aftertaste, I see this as a now and then cleaner, but I think whiskey adds a much better flavor. As for the Wipe I like the fact that it is very handy and easy to use.

  • Excellent, this was a great help. I'm definitely going to look into getting some of these products. I'd seen this video a while ago and couldn't for the life of me remember the products. Part of me thought you could also polish the bowl with a bit of rum or Whiskey. As always, it was great watching one of your videos.

    All the best Dub, Sebastian

  • I'll try it out. Thanks, you the man!

  • thanks dub...

  • everclear for cleaning and salt and alcohol treatment....plenty of pipe cleaners and Q tips....low speed buffer....under 1800 rpm....3 wheels one for tripoli compound for the steam....one for white diamond compound for stem and bowl.....one for carnuba wax for a final polish of everything....can't beat it

  • Thank you Pearce, it turns out that today I was looking for some kind of bowl wax for my pipes and there you are with some great ideas.

    Best regards,

    Kel

  • okiedoke - thanks, eh! MM
