Recently I began to notice that my daily driver of McClelland Va blends has lost its smoking characteristics. I’m no longer experiencing the characteristic sweetness that I enjoy from blends. I wouldn’t say it’s sour, but it’s definitely changed.
When I got this pipe several months ago it was ghosted a touch. I did a light cleaning with everclear dipped pipe cleaners down the mortise. Also a light sanding of the chamber to remove any cake that might have built up. So I repeated the process, and it doesn’t seem to have worked this go around. I’ve smoked it for over a month, and the tobacco isn’t shining like it once did.
This is a filtered meerschaum pipe, in case anyone didn’t notice what sub forum this is. Any suggestions?
