Since I am back to smoking, I am also back to tinkering with pipes. Digging through the box of "stuff", I came across two pipes which were part of various lots I bought from Ebay in which I was interested in one or two pipes and tossed the rest in the box.
Two pipes have a metal lining in the bowl, around the sides and on the bottom. There is clear evidence that these were smoked but I'm curious what to expect if I clean them and smoke them?

I wouldn't expect much, I had one like that as a teenager, wasn't for tobacco. The metal imparts a nasty taste, just my 2 cents..

It would be a very bad smoke and a cheap pipe. Chuck it.

 Does your metal pipe resemble this? If is does, it could be an Aristocob pipe that used corn cob inserts. |

There's always pipes like those around on the street markets here during holiday season. Usually the inserts barely keep the wood around them from burning |

Ok, I may have been a little off. I don't think that one was intended for what I insinuated. I believe it is simply decorative, I can't tell what type of wood it is, but I imagine it won't hold up well to actual use. |

I vote decorative only.
If you post that turd of a pipe one more time Charlie I am going to contact the ugly pipe police and have it taken from you.

Don't smoke pipes with metal bowls when especially you don't know their provenance. Better safe than sorry.
