I feel weird posting this, but most of the pipes I have ever boughten or had made for me never had any pre-carbonization done to the bowls. I like it that way. I have had a pipes last year that was carbonized, but the taste was not noticeable. However, I just bought a nice pipe by a famous pipemaker and a rather old-timer that had the black carbonization. Well - let's say the first 5 bowls were absolutely horrific. It took at least 12 bowls to taste the tobacco. Cleaners cam out BLACK! FUNKY! Really funky! After 17 bowls still not getting the taste of the tobacco but an acrid taste as such. Beautiful pipe, nice draw, but other factors just don't cut it. Pipemaker will remain anonymous. Many of the other new bowls smoked nice from the first bowl even uncaked. Your thoughts?
I know patience is needed - and I plan on giving it more time but for the $ and the pipe ---- damn what a disappointment!
