[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 564731, member: 1211"] RE: estate pipes with lucite stems. Do you folks sand down and fully refurbish your estate lucite stems? Unless a notable scratch or tooth mark, I don't understand why someone would run a lucite stem through a sanding, buffing, etc. I'm more of an Italian pipe type, so I've had maybe 100-150 pipes with lucite stems. I always wash, scrub, and then sanitize with alcohol. Working a bristled pipe cleaner or three through the stem as I go through the process as many times as necessary to feel comfortable with the cleaning. It's the idea of automatically running the stem through a micromesh set, for instance, that has me scratching my head. Why? The first thing that comes to mind is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
