[LockOut]

estate pipe from fleabay. Never been smoked. Briar outside with the solid block meerschaum inside. Needs a little clean up. The rubber on the bite piece is dry rotted and needs to be cut off.

I know you guys said you clean new pipes with ever clear. Is it safe to do with this pipe with the wood? Also I'm assuming these don't have to be smoked with the filter. I think i remember you guys saying it was an optional thing. Is it needed?
