Sorry guys. I have to apologize for unknowingly being off-topic. I just read the first post and realized the subject is concerning new pipes to purchase. I saw "pipes" and just started blogging... Again, my apologies...
@KA9FFJ I respond to a lot of messages, unfortunately I don't offer much in the way of useful information. I've assume the role of the guy on the site who knows even less than you do, so you'll never feel inferior. It's a good gig. No one expects anything of you - and you'll never disappoint anyone.
@motie2 Well who knew? As usual, you come through with info on subjects that have almost long been forgotten. So Kentucky Club promoted this "system" pipe. I've now refurbed it and, although it's not my best work, it looks a whole lot better than it did before I started. Thanks again for the links you provided. It was immensely helpful...
Its a millard system suposed to keep moisture down. I am guessing the moisture from the bowl gather in the open area around the tube that leads into the stem.
@Woodsman@ghostsofpompeii I took a pipe cleaner, soaked it with pipe cleaning solution and went to work. I wound up looping each end plus also looping the middle of 3 pipe cleaners before I was able to see it shine like new. It probably had never been cleaned. It should be easier now to keep it that way...
@KA9FFJ Well I held the TAD to 1 tin for this month, however a good friend who has given up the pipe just sent me 6 tins and an 8 oz, package. Does that count?
