First timers like me, do not worry too much, even I did not understand what should be the ideal consistency (LoL).

This method does a great job at cleaning the pipe, softening the hardened cake making it easier to remove from the bowl. It also, freshens up the bowl and gets ride of any ghosting left from prior tobaccos smoked. In the blog itself he breaks his process down into two parts – cleaning the stem and cleaning the bowl.
Overall the bowl was in great condition with a small white mark on the bottom of the bowl (I think it was glue).

That happiness comes from fact that I am handling something that is old and has a long history. Sometimes I ask to myself how the previous pipe smoker could smoke them. Sometimes I get a stem with double hole, a tobacco chamber with a very limited space. It is then that I remember when my father told me when I was younger that my great-grandparent’s pipe needed maintenance .
