Was thinking the other day...does anyone know how the Italian artisans et al are faring during this horrible pandemic?
Ditto, but this particular bug needs at least 65% alcohol. Vodka is out. And I'd use only non-denatured ethanol: I don't wipe my pipe with liquids I wouldn't drink.I make sure to clean every pipe I get, new or old with alcohol.
You never know where it has been.
I use Everclear, it kills everything!Ditto, but this particular bug needs at least 65% alcohol. Vodka is out. And I'd use only non-denatured ethanol: I don't wipe my pipe with liquids I wouldn't drink.
Are the microscopic caves and pores of the briar included in 'surfaces'?Let the pipe sit for two weeks and even if was soaked in disease there’s a limit to how long any virus can survive on a surface.
Last I heard was a statement from health officials that five days was about the max for surface contamination. Hours for airborne particles.
I can't get that in Canada, that I know of.I use Everclear, it kills everything!
I suspect shipping out of Italy is gonna be pretty weird for awhile though...
I dunno, but the one time I purchased from Al Pascia it went smooth as silk.When has shipping out of Italy not been weird?

That wasn't Everclear, that was the latakia you smoked on that pipe afterwards, my man!From brain cells on down, yeah!
You'll be our guin— er, test subject. We'll keep follo— er, tracking you.I've been handling this one since I got it a few weeks ago with no illness. I figured time shipped from Italy to SPC, three weeks in layaway, and three days to get to me killed everything.
