Basically, it’s running boiling alcohol into your pipe, cleaning, disinfecting and pulling the tar and nicotine out of the briar. I got mine from a fundraiser for the Sanctuary for Unwanted and Neglected Animals in Silvery Springs, New York. I found it on Ebay. You can search Ebay, go to www.suna.petfinder.com or write suna@rochester.rr.com. You can also find one in other pipe supply places online.

Excuse my big fat wrist getting in the way at one point. Obviously, I’m not a pro.

And yes, I was hiding in my garage so my wife wouldn’t get bent out of shape. I’m an idiot, but I’m not suicidal.

Oh, I forgot to add that I got 3 retorts with this kit, not just one.
