I have a german 3 piece style hunting pipe. the pipe for some reason has a metal liner with some sort of coating inside the tobacco chamber. Does anyone have a reason for this liner and secondly would you remove it and smoke staight from the briar?
 
1) Pictures would help.
2) If a pipe maker puts a lining in a pipe of any sort - chances are he's done it for a reason. I would suggest cleaning it up, and smoking it as is. Perhaps you'll be surprised?

Not at all what I thought it would be. If you could open the top and take a pix down the bowl, we might be able to explain the inside. Perhaps a porcelain or meerschaum liner? Don't know why there would any sort of metal on the inside of the bowl, though.

Thanks All for thier assistance
 
Weird! It looks like an authentic Bavarian pipe and the sliver cap seems to have proof marks from what I can see. I'm at a loss as to why they made it that way.

It is marked made in Germany on one side and briareye on the other side. It was a gift from an elderly customer who said if came from here husbands side of the family and was probably from prior to WWII. I smoked it yesterday before I posted about it and it smoked OK but still really curious about the liner and if I should remove it.
 
Either way, that is one cool chuck of lumber you have there! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
