[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 176057, member: 36"] Perhaps Condor will work, but if you are trying to conquer the pipe's funky taste with Condor's casing and tobacco flavors, I'm guessing it won't, as the funk will still be there, underneath. I could definitely be wrong. But if you haven't given the pipe a good reaming, I'd start there as cake retains flavors from the tobaccos smoked in that pipe. That's why folks dedicate pipes. Once you get most of the cake out of it, I'd use the cotton ball technique to further cleanse it. Put a snug layer of cotton halfway up the bowl; saturate with grain alcohol, not booze, but the strongest alcohol you can find. Repeat. Use the bottom of an egg carton to keep the pipe upright. Let sit 24 hours. I've had good results with this method, and it is superior to the salt method as you don't run the risk of cracking the bowl, not that I've ever heard of this happening. If that doesn't work GLP used to have an article on his site describing the carbon/heat technique. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
