[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 31795"] Thanks to all for the advice. I got the pipes(two Kaywoodie 13B's, one is what they call 'White Briar' which seems to be a pipe painted ivory white to me). I used bits and pieces of everyones posts to clean them as I felt it would apply to the situation at hand. The condition of the pipes was not too bad, they were not smoked that much but just seem aged a bit. I wanted these pipes because I like the shape and they are lighter weight (for clenching) and are fairly short and compact, good for smoking while driving. I can stick one in my shirt or coat pocket easily and with the two of them I can alternate. And they were cheap, in total I spent about 28 bucks for both pipes and shipping. My one issue is that the stems are still a bit discolored, I tried the light sandpaper (600 grit) then buffing with a cotton wheel technique, and am affraid to take more off. Does stem polish help? I've seen it at the local tobaconist shop. I'm also wondering if anyone knows of a source for replacement stems for these, I did a Google search but to no avail.
