[QUOTE="smoker13, post: 516268, member: 3962"] It's funny, I've been thinking about posting a thread about scorched rims, i.e. who cares about it or not. Me, I try to keep my pipes looking good, clean them up after a smoke, rub 'em down with some TLC, especially the vulcanite/ebonite/bakelite stems. I smoke outside, and brothers, it's just about impossible to keep from the inevitability of scorching the rim of that pipe, so I've learned to accept it as part of the pipe's journey. Actually, in some cases, after time the rims kind of "melt" inward to the bowl in spots and I have a few pipes where that's happened and I find them most endearing! Keeping the insides clean, where it REALLY matters, goes without saying. [/QUOTE]
