SHIP ONLY IN US I strive to be a 5 star seller! Please, when leaving me feedback use the rating system and give me all 5 stars, if I deserve it. If not, please let me know what I could have done better. I appreciate you as my customer!All pipes are reamed, sanitized and cleaned. Whenever I clean an antique pipe, I try not to lose its character and charm. If a Chippendale chair has been cleaned and restored correctly, it will still possess all the character of its years. It would be a shame if anyone took a Chippendale, sanded, stained and polished it until it looks like a copy. And so with a pipe; even if I have a badly damaged pipe, I only remove that part of its character which would otherwise detract from it.Sanitizing a pipe-I do not use commercial pipe sweeteners. They rarely have enough alcohol to dissolve the tar. I use potable wood grain alcohol. (Everclear is the brand) It is 190 proof or 95% alcohol by volume. I will not put anything in my customer's pipes that I would not want in my mouth.Bowl reaming-There is a buildup of ash, unburned tobacco, oil, etc. on the walls of the bowl of the pipe. This is called cake. This cake layer helps prevent burning through the bottom and sides of a briar pipe. It is generally recommended to keep the cake at the thickness of a US dime (about 1/16-1/20 of an inch or 1.5mm.) That is what I ream the cake to in the pipes I restore.I restore all briar pipes. This is a hobby and not a business. It is a fun hobby! Any profit I receive is donated to Wounded Warrior Foundation for our wounded Veterans. I am a Veteran and all Veterans thank you for your purchase. This is my grading system for pipes as to their condition:New (unused)-factory freshGood (used)-burn marks on rim of bowl, no bite marks on stemExtra Fair (used)-pipe with some burn marks on rim of bowl, minor bite marks on stemFair (used)-pipe with some burn marks on rim of bowl, some bite marks, cosmetic blemishes on pipeI restore all pipes before I sell them. They are reamed, cleaned and sanitized. I polish the bowl and stem and honey coat bowls inside. If there are any cracks, I repair them and note they have been repaired and tested and show a picture of them. Two good sources for pipe information is Wickipedia and Pipedia. read more
