Pipe Juice

aeropuffer · Oct 25, 2016

I enjoy a little pipe juice in my mouth.

Back in the 40's and 50's before pipe cleaners were widely available, a pipe smoker would take the stem out of his pipe and blow a big blast of air thru the stem. There by clearing the pipe juice out of the stem. When he got a little pipe juice in his mouth is when he would do the blow job.

I live in a country that doesn't have a post office. I can't get any more pipe cleaners here. The P.O. didn't close down because of war. But if you live in a country that seems to be marching to nuke war, then if there was one, your P.O. would close down also. You need to have as many pipe cleaners as you have bowls of pipe tobacco in your cellar.

Or, you can be like me.

Enjoy a little pipe juice in your mouth.

To each their own, I suppose. No pipe juice for me, though. yuck. What country do you live in Aeropuffer, that your post office was closed?

I live in Guatemala.

Another forum member told me about a tip that is great. Just put your fingers or thumb over the bowl and sling it stem side down, to sling out any juice. Just don't do it in the living room, because the wife will turn into an angry badger. I still have the scars to prove it, ha ha.

Thanks Cosmic. I'll give that a go.

Before pipe cleaners, people used tall dry grasses, I'll bet.

cosmicfolklore · Oct 25, 2016

You could take what dirty pipe cleaners you have, put them in a pillow case and run them through the wash. I wish I could just flings some down to you, or drone some down. Do you have a craft store there? I know that craft pipe cleaners aren't the best, but in a pinch....

it must be frustrating to have Internet, seeing all the stuff online, and not be able to access anything in real life. I feel for ya.

I read elsewhere that chicken feathers were used. Having a hard time imagining myself shoving one of these down the stem, but I'm lucky enough to have pipe cleaners.

Not to rub it in, sorry.
Go find a chicken and let us know how it goes.

aldecaker · Oct 25, 2016

I imagine a feather would work fine, if you took scissors and cut all but about 1/8" off either side of the quill.

shutterbugg · Oct 25, 2016

Blowing through or shaking the stem won't get rid of the juice in the shank. If you could lay hands on a Falcon, or one of those idiotic-looking contraptions with a spit-valve, you could do away with pipecleaners.

A Kaywoodie with a screw in stem and stinger might also work. Remove the stem mid-smoke,flick,wipe off the stinger then run some q-tips in the shank.

I have been trying to order pipe cleaners every time I order tobacco online. Pipe juice sounds terrible, and I get it occasionally, and it tastes worse than it sounds!

crashthegrey · Oct 26, 2016

The fling method works really well. I don't really like using pipe cleaners mid smoke. It's a personal thing. I just flick the wrist and send any juice flying.

mawnansmiff · Oct 26, 2016

I'll second the feather solution. Apparently that is what folks used afore pipecleaners became widely available.
Get yourself a pet goose or chicken for a continuous supply, the bonus of that idea of course is that you will get the occasional egg for breakfast : puffy

Good plan!
I, for one, don't like anything running out of my stem, unless I wish it so! So, drying tobacco is the key: Then, no gurgle, no unpleasant emissions from the pipe stem, no carpet clogging, etc.
Try it; you'll like it!

crashthegrey · Oct 26, 2016

Also, I have chickens, ducks, and a goose. I have to say, they are dirty little creatures. I'd be hesitant to actually use them as pipe cleaners. The feathers I pluck at butcher time are the cleanest, as they get scalded. Maybe I should consider cleaning some and trying this out.

What is happening with Correos de Guatemala?

mayfair70 · Oct 26, 2016

I knew Canadians were behind this somehow. 8) Sorry to hear Aeropuffer. I would come down there and open the post office myself if I had the means. Beautiful country. I like the tall grasses idea, instead of pipe cleaners. Dry the grasses, then smack the ends to shreds. Pull them through, intact end first and the shredded end should grab most moisture. Best of luck!

Fitzy as Dougal would say that's mad Ted.
Aeropuffer you could try rolling paper towel into shape,works for me when I'm stuck
