[QUOTE="SpeedyPete, post: 347924, member: 1538"] This is one beautiful old pipe which disappointed me to the point where I felt like breaking it's neck. Got it off eBay at a fair price and in excellent condition. But it smoked like crap.:evil: I did everything I could think off and everything others had thought of but to no avail. I even filled it with baking soda and added vinegar to "boil" it, did this to both bowl and shank. I scrubed the bowl with a toothbrush and boiling water. No go. Eventually I put it aside and tried to forget about it, left it alone for a couple of months. Took it up again a while ago and charged it with Presbyterian Blend. And there it was performing like a champ!!! :shock: Now, my brothers, how is this possible? This pipe can only be enjoyed with latakia blends? Anything else tastes like pure crap (never smoked pure crap but I imagine that's what it will taste like). Any of the brothers experienced something like this? :?: [/QUOTE]
