Ok guys, so I just got my hands on that estate Kaywoodie Magnum that I ordered a couple of weeks ago. (It's been here but I've been on vacation). I was very pleased by the looks and weight of it but, it stinks. Literally, it smells like my clothes used to after an overnight camp out. Now I just may not be used to the smell of an used pipe but man is it bad. The pictures will show that the bowl looks to have been reamed but the shank shows some debris. I did run one dry pipe cleaner down the shank and got nothing but a little tobacco dust. I was also unable to get a pipe cleaner completely thru the stem/stinger. I can't get past the bend thru the stinger, and can get down to the top of the stinger thru the bit. The stinger appears to have been cut off but all the threads are still there to screw into the shank. Even when I remove the stem from the pipe, even it has a slight foul odor when I draw thru it. I also found it weird how the grain pattern differs from left side to right. So let me know what I need to do to remove the smell. Any other suggestions or recommendations are welcome as well.
