I've always searched pipe questions followed by pipemagazine forums. It brings up a great deal of information. I'm sure I am not the only one!
I wanted to post an excellent solution, both for members of the forums and outsiders googling.
On amazon, you can find what is called butchers block conditioner (photo will be attached)
It is ready available with quick shipping for prime members and works fantastic!
It's essentially mineral oil, carnuba wax and bees wax all in one.
After every smoke I lather my stem with it and leave it be. Prior to my next smoke I buff it off and so far so good!
The first time I got my dream pipe I ran some of it through the inside of the stem via a pipe cleaner and will do so from time to time as well.
It is also excellent for rubbing on the outside of the pipe itself for shine and protection.
