I'm in a Sherlock Holmes skit this coming April and I borrowed a pipe from a friend of mine to use as a prop. He collects them and lent this particular one to me asking me to take extra special care of it, of course. Problem is, it still smells horribly of tobacco and I can even taste the smoke when I inhale with it in my mouth. It's not very pleasant, unfotunately. I was wondering if there was any way I could possibly get rid of those things without harming the pipe itself in anyway?

Smoke crack or ice in your pipe, which will replace the sweet smell of tobacco

soak it in a answer of a million/2 warm water and a million/2 isopropyl alcohol and enable it take a seat for a a million/2 hour or so, then rinse it ... particularly some gunk could come out yet no longer all. Then take a pipecleaner or an old, clean mascara bruch and moisten it with the alcohol, stick it interior the pipe and scrub, rinsing in many situations. you will probable bypass by using some scrubbers, and could throw them out as you bypass. The resin is so sticky, its even hard to get off palms. you easily do could scrub for particularly a on an identical time as, and in case you have a molded glass pipe you're in no way going to get in around each little crevice yet you will get lots out. the main serious section to get is the bowl and the stem besides. Rinse it an as warm a water as you are able to stand, and enable it air dry. in case you do not get the outcomes you like, merely keep flushing it with an alcohol-water answer. in accordance with how long its been on the grounds which you receive it, it could be particularly the job! good success!

There is no way to get rid of the tobacco smell and taste from a well used pipe. Whatever you do, don't try to wash it, as that could ruin the pipe. You might try asking your friend to clean it for you, but I'm afraid that the taste and smell is there to stay.

try boiling it. Then wash it out with water from the faucet while you scrape it with a paper clip.
