[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 521449, member: 2140"] You should have nothing to worry about. A reputable seller will usually use an alcohol retort to clean said pipe. Most folks using retorts are running everclear or at least 151 Bacardi through them. I don't know of any germ that will survive boiling alcohol so you should be quite safe to just jump in and light up. If it puts your mind at ease just pour a shot of your favorite high proof beverage and drop the end of the stem in there for as long as it takes to make you comfortable. Put the stem back on the pipe after drying it and Chuck that shot of whatever down the drain. Small price to pay. Jim [/QUOTE]
