[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 237352, member: 1969"] Hey, don't credit me with that trick, I picked it up along the way cruisin' through BoB some months back. :lol: I think the only conclusion I came to that wasn't clearly specified is making sure the lip balm has SPF (##) going for it. It isn't always effective, as evidenced by my poor forever-chocolate-stemmed Brebbia. Meh, it's a good pipe. Yeah, don't let a little restoration work steer you away from pipes. Guys here, including myself, have become quite adept at bringing out the spirit and luster of a forgotten briar. If it's in a retail store or even eBay, that just means "bargaining room" to me, if they aren't willing to send me home that day with a pipe that's presentable. I have succeeded, more often than not, by sending sellers a simple message on eBay: "Your (product) is great, but I'm hesitant to bid/buy on it due to condition...it's going to take some work to get it useable by me. Can I offer ($__.____) for it, or can we talk about it some? I'd appreciate it!" *shrug* I like refurbishing pipes; I've learned a lot doing so. 8) [/QUOTE]
