[QUOTE="Smoker99, post: 304753, member: 1290"] I also just use a dry cloth. Have always thought oils and waxes would just clog the natural breathing of the briar. Have read that skin oil, ie, rubbing on your face is not good because your skin excretions contain salt, which is not good for any wood. Also have read that oils and waxes containing any kind of animal fat will eventually turn rancid, adversely affecting the taste of the pipe. Can't verify any of that is true, but a dry cloth works for me. [/QUOTE]
