[QUOTE="PipePuffer, post: 144880, member: 1417"] I bought an estate GBD pipe on Ebay. The chamber had been reamed (very poorly if you ask me) and upon closer inspection I found a suspicious hole in the cake at the bottom of the chamber. I took it to my B&M to be reamed properly and now we can have a better view of the problem area. The hole is deep enough so that there is probably little or no cake at that spot. I am afraid there is a potential for burnout there. I have been told to apply a dash of honey on that spot and then cover the walls of the chamber with fine ashes. Is that solid advice? What else should I do? Note: that pipe was sold as clean and "ready to smoke" but it was absolutely filthy. It took a good amount of everclear and about 30 pipe cleaners to clean the shank alone.
