    Have you tried oxyclean? Works well and doesn't leave a taste, as long as you rinse it well. Or maybe a super fine sanding.
    I smoked the Medico again last night, so need to clean it today. Any recommendations on how long to leave in the oxyclean? ~:10?

    Thanks!

    I let em soak in warm water with oxyclean for maybe 15 to 20 min and then use a Mr clean eraser (fine sandpaper or some other slightly abrasive material could work) and then back in.  

    You can repeat until all of the oxidation comes off. Usually a couple soaks and no more than an hour total.  I do not think you can hurt the stems by leaving them in too long.

    They'll need a polish after, but will be clean

    Also, this is what I have used for heavy duty oxidation and disgusting stems. You may not need to soak the whole stem; it doesn't look nearly as bad as some of the ones I've cleaned up.

    Hey @Gray4lines

    It it is looking better! Will give this a try for the next few cleanings--I suspect with time it'll come 100% clean

    Thanks again!

    Those church wardens are fun to smoke, just remember to go slow. It's very easy to smoke them too fast with how cool the smoke is in your mouth.
