Hey Prop, the "other" stuff you set is kind of clumpy, do i break it up before putting it in?

Yes.

If smart you will break it off into a smooth mix that you have' or just jump in with both feet and spur it out of the chute!!!! Hang on!!!

Both of those have aged for the last 10 years in my hands and you would be hard pressed to find the second I sent you

NO!!!

I forgot to send you all of the pipe cleaners I had.

Are you talking stems or bowl?

you have a place around that deals in pipes?

I have my own Bowl reamer and if you would have said something earlier I could have sent my extra.

As far as the stems I usualy boil them to get them clean. I put them in when the water is cold and let boil.

Some will tell you not to do that but it works for me.

I repeate the process untill I'm happy.

There are solutions that you can pick up to do the job also.

If it is a collectors piece then let the profesionals do it

magic of pipe smoking... GET / Make a TAMPER & use it,often.

when getting a little hot , pause then gently blow in to keep hot tabbacco burn a little.. then when pulling on pipe put hand over bowl to re kindle flame by throttleing oxygen.

the slower you smoke the smoother it should be.

Sounds like you are packing the bowl to loose.

You should get that part figured out in no time.

I also used to do pipes,still have a few around.

Cheers
