We have been asked if we sell pipes with a glazed or varnish tip to eliminate what many find is the tendency of the clay to stick to lips. The old Pollock clay pipes came with the glazed tip but they have long since ceased producing pipes, but since the demand is there we will be offering varnished tip pipes on a number of our clay pipes. The varnish is a dark walnut color and will extend approximately an inch along the mouth end tip of the pipe. At this writing our Dutch Gouda and Caribbean Pirate Pipes now come with a varnished tip option.
