[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 506076, member: 820"] If it is a relatively new pipe, chances are it was dip stained. With Petersons I like to remove the precarbonized coating and sand the chamber bowl down to the wood before getting started. In general, new Petes tend to take a long time to break in. But when they hit their stride, they can be amazing. I know yours is an estate, but it might be worth a try anyway. The last Pete (264 Donegal) I bought, I tried breaking it in as is. Total failure! I then scraped off the precarb and sanded it down and started over. Today it's one of my best pipes, misdrilling and all. [/QUOTE]
