Does the pre-carbonation of pipes make a difference, in your opinion?

Does not make a major difference. If it's not done well it's not fun. Makes cleaning take longer for several bowls until it works out

Most of the pipes you’ve purchased in the past that you thought were pre-smoked were only finished inside the chamber with a “ black as night dye “. I haven’t seen a true pre-smoked pipe in many years.

I haven’t seen a true pre-smoked pipe in many years. Oh is that just a dye? I thought it had some kind of carbon coating to them. Now I'm embarrassed. |

50 years ago...Comoy carbonized their bowls for a short time...had heated "fingers" that the bowl was put on and "toasted"...not sure when they stopped...not sure when they started.

Years ago pipes were sold pre-smoked by machines. Like Walt stated...the old Comoy’s are a fine example 👍 |

I'm assuming the dye is non-toxic. I've learned a lot today. Cheers people.

I see a lot of confusion with regards to this on the forums. As stated above pre-carbed pipes are no more, the correct term to use nowadays would be "bowl coating", which many pipe makers use nowadays, even the Grand Masters  |

Each pipe maker has his/her/its own recipe for bowl coatings. I've never experienced any taste problems with Petersons, Lorenzos or Stanwells. Had a Kaywoodie with the strangest tasting bowl coating, though....it is gone now...

Is it a dye or paint of some sort or something else? |

Is it a dye or paint of some sort or something else? Ash, carbon, charcoal, maybe clay powder, based on what Savinellis bowl coatings taste like when smoked the first few times, plus the texture. Cayugas that my local tobacconist makes also have a miracle cake as its called. No idea what he uses though. |

On the few pipes I have made I used a thick mixture of activated charcoal powder with some sour cream as a bowl coating. It dries quickly and seems to work really well.
I started using it because the first pipe I made had a big flaw in the chamber. Instead of tossing it I tried the bowl coating. It seems to to work well.
I have also used it on a handful of abused flea market or antique store finds with obvious signs of overheating like discoloration on the outside of the bowl or deep heat checking inside the chamber. So for no burnouts.

Charl from your neighborhood makes some stunning pipes. He usually coats the chamber with a non-toxic black as night coating. Which I think finishes off the pipe quite nicely 👌👍👍 |

Lots of folks don’t like it generally getting their panties in a twist over them. Some can taste funny but you can either sand it out or tough it out for a few smokes, I don’t care, if a pipe speaks to me I’m not buying it for the coating, or lack there of although there’s something nice about the taste of breaking in a Vergin bowl.

WOW.....I’m surprised that Charl would not tell you of all people!! Shouldn’t be a secret, especially you owning a few and care to know...” what’s inside the bowl “! |
