[QUOTE="NorthernLights, post: 318744, member: 3183"] Hello all. Sad news today. Following the advice of some posters here, I cleaned two pipes with 99% Isoproply Alcohol. Worked like a dream to remove the tar residue from inside the stem, shank, and around the bowl rim. Sadly, also did a *great* job removing, cracking, and destroying the finish around the rim :( I cleaned another pipe with the same stuff, and it didn't affect the finish at all. The casualty is a Brigham Mountaineer 3 Dot style 329 in Apple finish. It's a very sad thing for me, as it was the first new pipe I bought. I remember buying it in my local tobacconist. It is still a good smoke, and has a lot of sentimental value, despite now having near zero collecting value. [/QUOTE]
