[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 382513, member: 1422"] Dutch, I think the sponge analogy is good, except that if you rest a sponge, it dries out again. I don't think there's any reason to believe that the wood gets filled with anything that doesn't come out. [url=http://pipesmokersforum.com/community/threads/no-finish.7967/]http://pipesmokersforum.com/community/threads/no-finish.7967/[/url] post #8 or 9 there shows a picture of a really old estate pipe 'smoked to DEATH' cut in half. Except for the smallest portion immediately around the chamber, the briar is completely clean. I would think a pipe could be smoked indefinitely and be fine, so long as it gets a deep clean every once in a while, but I'm not been smoking long enough to find out. [/QUOTE]
