Obsidian Oil for Pipe Stems

I have read about Obsidian Oil for years but never got around to trying it until recently and I cannot believe that I missed out on this stuff for so long! It literally takes on a drop or two to treat a stem (or two), which I thought had to be wrong but isn’t.For dull and/or lightly oxidized stems, a quick massage of the oil and wipe after letting it penetrate for a minute or so it all it takes. The light oxidation is gone and then stem is beautiful, black, and shiny! I’ve not tried it in a very oxidized stem yet or on anything other than Vulcanite so I can’t speak to how it would work on them yet.I highly recommend trying Obsidian Oil.

This product does a nice job of restoring the essential surface on some of my older Vulcanite stem pipes. I apply it periodically with repeated used of a the particular older pipes and they look a heck of lot nicer.

I've seen a few reviews stating that this left a bad taste on the pipe stems. No worries here -- so long as you apply it onto a cotton ball (or a paper towel) and just rub the excess oil off? This works extremely well and restored pipes I have owned for a good 5-10 years.The real test was an old Second World War-era Purex self-cleaning pipe. Brought that stem back from a seen-better-days look to something that would look like my go-to pipe.May take a good 2-3 applications to really let it soak in, but after just one? Very happy with my purchase; will use this again if/when I run out.

Great gloss for these old pipes. The stems look new.

I’m not sure this did anything at all.

Not bad, brings up a shine to pipe seems. Somehow, though on the expensive side IMO. I like it though and will use it in the future as well.

The product was excellent and helped me achieve what I wanted. Great product, great seller!

This is a great product for keeping vulcanite pipe stems looking like new.
