I smoke pretty much all cobs and smoke one all day and clean it at the end of the day and switch to a different one for the next day. Pipe cleaners thru the stem and shank until pretty clean then paper towel to ream out the bowl. Deep clean with vodka every couple weeks.
There's been a few discussions about this recently, especially how often to do a thorough cleaning, but I run 3-4 pipe cleaners through after use, then use a bent one to wipe out the bowl. Finish up with a spit shine of the rim. I even clean the stem (even though it's my own spit, just don't like a nasty looking button).
Then I let it rest for 3-5 days. I do a thorough clean with alcohol every 4-6 weeks.

I dedicate pipes to specific blends and/or very similar blends. After every smoke, I use a pipe cleaner and then remove it to allow it to rest and air dry. I rotate 16 pipes and smoke a lot. I also use a dull pipe knife to clean the bowl after each smoke. Have enough pipes and follow what I said above and you won't have a problem. Tell your wife that Captain Bob says that you need more pipes!

I typically clean mine after every smoke. It's become habit, so I do it almost without thinking about it. Like a few guys around here, I like to twist a paper towel into the chamber to get maker sure its nice and clean for my next bowl.
Never clean my pipes. Just smoke them till the cake closes the hole. Then I just chuck em and buy another. LOL!
