From: Antti Kalliokoski <?????????????> Subject: The smell from resting pipes Hi again everybody, I have a nasty question to ask. The aroma coming from pipe I am puffing doesn't bother at all my wife, who is a cigarette smoker. On the contrary, she likes a lot most of the English blends (from C&D) I smoke. The problem is that she doesn't like a bit the smell of pipes resting in a rack. She thinks they stink :-( Do other members in P.D. have similar experiences? Has somebody invented a solution for this "stinking" problem? I would like to read about these inventions. Lay your inventions bare, please! I'm getting desperate ;-( Dry ashes! Antti Kalliokoski (?????????????) [ After a good cleaning with pure grain alcohol, my pipes don't tend to smell bad, especially if I put a cleaner in with them. On the other hand, my wife doesn't care for the aroma of pre-smoked tobacco in the ashtray... -S. ] ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U
