[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 386481, member: 2403"] Couple different thing you could try. 1. Salt & alcohol treatment. This works well for pulling out the nasties (tar, etc). There's plenty of good info on the web about how to do this. 2. Send it to Mike Myers at Walker Briar Works for a cleaning & ozone treatment. I did this with an estate Castello Sea Rock that was beyond home treatment earlier this year and the pipe came back smelling and tasting quite neutral. 3. Smoke it! Since your Kaywoodie is pretty much scraped down to the bare wood, take a simple tobacco you enjoy and smoke the Bejesus out of it until it obeys your command. A simple burley will help you quickly build a neutral tasting cake in the pipe, and not set you back too much $$$ in tobacco. For example, I used to enjoy breaking my pipes in (estate or new), with Carter Hall or for more flair something like John Patton's Storm Front. These are simple blends w/o much of a top note and as mentioned they build a pretty quick cake. After the cake is built you can purpose the pipe for any tobacco you want too enjoy and very few bowls of that new tobacco will taste like the cake. [/QUOTE]
