First post, about my first red stained pipe. I just bought a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Squire, with the bowl dyed a light red. I have only smoked it a few times, but so far each time I do the pipecleaners I use before, during, and after smoking come out completely stained red. I assume this is from the dye used to color the wood, but why would they dye the INSIDE of the shank??? How long will the dye leach out like this? I used pipe sweetener on it this morning and after 15 minutes of scrubbing ... still red dye on the pipecleaners. All my other pipes are natural briar or a dark stain, and I have never seen this before.
thank you,
Paul
