[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 323551"] Interesting dichotomy. We poo-poo the shiny finish on a basket pipe and laud the satin glow of fine finishes. Then we get to the mortice/tenon break and all hell breaks loose. I don't go for oxidation or mouth grunge but the rest I'm willing to call patina and part of the process. I had a buffer for other things and did it a few times but they aren't really new pipes. These days a micro-weave cleaning cloth handles all but getting a ebay pipe ready to smoke. For years, I've used Zwipes that I buy on Amazon for just about every cleaning job and that includes my pipes. [/QUOTE]
