I use EVOO to clean the outside of my briars. It dissolves skin oils. Then I wipe all off with tissue. As you note, it leaves a nice soft gloss.

PS Black Coffee in a straight Brigham Brandy Pot
Just lit some Einstein in a smooth made in Italy Rhodesian. Drinking some Puerh tea for the first time.
Had some McClelland 24 Virginia in my Ben Wade Freehand.
Then a bowl of McClelland Red and Black in a Savinelli Series III.
It was my first bowl of Red and Black (I tried a fellow BOTL's at the local shop) and it was absolutely amazing. I will be ordering some immediately.

CAO Black tonight.
Really enjoy the tobacco. The pipe is pretty decent. The pipe is a bit of a gurgler and fails the pipe cleaner test but has a good feel and smokes cool.
