[QUOTE="lowflyingpenguin, post: 391649, member: 664"] Almost all my Petes were bought new in the '70s. I also have a pre-Republic that I just love. The new ones I have are the Dracula and the Mark Twain I just picked up in Ireland. I don't recall any of my '70s pipes as having [u]any[/u] bowl coating back then and they were a son of a bitch to break in. I do remember at least some of the old ones I have had stain IN the bowls which made for an interesting experience until I got some miles on them. The pipe cleaner test doesn't work with the system pipes because of the deep well and the sharp angle of the draft hole into the bowl. Even my 70s Irish Army billiard system pipe has a small well under the tobacco chamber of the bowl with the draught hole sitting a bit above what one would think would be the bottom of the bowl. It's also hard to pass a cleaner through the P-lip stem because of the initial curve after the button. [/QUOTE]
