Care and feeding of your pipe

"Your pipe is breakable. The tenon is most prone to mishap so never knock out your pipe by holding it by the bit. The tenon will snap. Never remove the bit from the shank when the pipe is hot. Again, you will snap the tenon or split the wall of the shank. Remove the bit only when your pipe is cool. Good caretaking influences the taste. Use paper napkins and pipe cleaners. From time to time the carbon layer needs to be trimmed with a special pipe knife or a profiler. Ensure a uniform layer and avoid pointed knives as they easily damages your pipe."
