I wish this was an announcement to say that Briar Pipe Wipe was back. It's not. I'm soooo close to being done with my last can of the "good stuff," and am now starting to panic. I've always used this according to their instructions, and wipe down every pipe (briar and stem) after smoking, and it makes for a great once over before putting the pipes back on the shelf...but this is about to end.
Can anyone recommend something that works great, that they've been using since Briar Pipe Wipe disappeared?
I've already got a Dunhill Silicone Pipe Care Cloth, and that doesn't seem to do much of anything.
I tried Pledge on a rag instead of the pipe wipe, and for anyone thinking about trying this, it was NOT a good idea. It took the luster off the briar (tried it on a couple of pipes). They looked shiny at first, but that quickly faded to a matte or satin finish. When I then smoked one of these pipes, I could swear the pipe was giving off a slightly foul lemony odor.
Searching the web fails to give me any other ideas. Are we all just screwed since Arango stopped making this product, or is there something else that's a good, easy, and simple way to give our pipes a quick once over (briar and stem) after smoking?
