[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 377853, member: 1690"] Very much like Mr. Teipen above, I'm not very rigorous in my cleaning, mostly because it takes about ten seconds to make a clean pipe dirty, but there are several things I have noticed in 50 years of smoking pipes. The mortise loads up with muck, the stem loads up with something bitter, and the draft hole will get smaller and smaller as it loads up with calcified something or other. And resting a pipe will sweeten and dry it. That's all I know. And patina is [size=5][i][b]character[/b][/i][/size], man! [/QUOTE]
