It's really unfortunate because even attempting to smoke PA or some other burley (Compare to Sugar Barrel, Compare to Carter Hall) through those perfumed pipes proved to be too much. I tried many different tobaccos to see if I could smoke though it. NEIN!!!!!!

The damage was already done. I threw those pipes out. They are now in the South Berrien landfill being reduced to their constituent elements. I have far too many other pipes that don't reek of old lady to smoke tobacco through. Bear in mind, these were not exactly expensive pipes. I think all told I was out $40. Not bad in the grand scheme of things. I should have saved one that was particularly offensive so I could have bombed it to someone as a challenge.

In fact, if I happen across another one (Lord, I hope not) I'm going to refer back to this thread and potentially "gift" it to someone. LOL. If whoever gets it can actually get the smell of old lady perfume out of it then they will be rewarded in some fashion.
