Help dating a Peterson I just got off ebay.

Just smoked star of the east after a good ream and clean. It has great draw and the bit is really comfortable. Smokes like a dream.

Trying something strong at first to get past the forty year old pipe musk but I've got the last bit of a 2001 tin of christmas cheer begging for this pipe.

Option "B"

Smoke something very subtle (on this end, Union Square) as a "try" tobac. That way you can taste exactly what's left over from the last guy and how strong/persistent it's likely to be.

As long as it's not full of Lakeland Urinal Cake Perfume, the second & third bowls will give you a handle on whether (& how fast if so) it will recede. This, in turn, gives you a handle on whether the best long-term solution would be to send it off to Walker Briar Works for an Ozone de-tox that will let you start over again from square one in it. $5 + postage both ways + hassle + wait can still be way preferable to long-term annoyance.

FWIW

If you've got any questions I'd have to concurr with the Walker advice. When you get it back it will be "your'e" pipe to flavor as YOU want .
