[QUOTE="Airborne, post: 186608, member: 1825"] When you talk about boiling do you mean when the pipe maker does it during the curing process? If not then, the amount of olive oil I rub onto the[b] outside [/b]of my briars is very little so the wood doesn’t absorb much of it (the carnauba wax is long since gone). Olive oil starts to smoke at 191c (375f) before it boils so my pipe would have to be so hot that I couldn’t smoke it, that is if my tongue could even withstand it. It would be one helluva mess! I’ve been using olive oil on my pipes for 30 years without any taste, flavor, or scent issues and there’s never been even a hint of gum forming in the chamber ([b]where I don't use it[/b]) or anywhere else. It seems to me I read the Radice soaks his briar in oil rather than boils it and then allows them to dry out over a period of many years. [/QUOTE]
