| gandalfpc,
Hey, how do you prevent the rims from blackening? Every smooth I have is, in one stage or another, blackened.
I've taken to leaving the last 2-4 mms of the bowl not packed with tobacco; I know that's supposed to help. |

| Thanks for the kind words, both pipes smoke flawlessly. As far as keeping the rims clean, I'm just real careful and I clean the rim after each smoke. |

| If I may ask, how do you clean the rims after smoking? I do, too, in fact after I smoke a pipe I rub beeswax on the rim so that after smoking, hypothetically, when I apply saliva and ribbed cloth, rubbing it so that any deposits from that smoke are removed, it should not darken, but it does. |

Mike, When I fill my pipes I don't fill all the way to the top and after the smoke while the pipe is still warm I wipe off the top with a soft cotton cloth. No big secret here. |

| For some reason when I saw those two pipes, the song Ebony and Ivory came to mind?  |
