[QUOTE="clueless, post: 156558, member: 649"] I am a relatively new pipe smoker - couple years. I have not always been as careful about not over packing and lighting as I have learned to be today. As a result several of my (otherwise well maintained and good looking) briars have an unsightly build up on the rim. I now know that if I 1. don't pack the pipe to overflowing 2. light with a little attention 3. wipe the rim (usually just saliva) after a smoke then the rim can be maintained like new in appearance. Is there anything I can use to clean the rims that I have marred with tar/residue buildup? I don't expect to be able to do much to restore the charred rims besides sanding and restaining. I'd like to clean up those that are otherwise discolored or have build up. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
