I don't suggest trying to clean the stummel of your pipe at all. Most cleaners will remove the wax that gives the pipe its shiny surface, and make it susceptible to water damage. Also, water can seriously damage your pipe. If a pipe become wet, it may crack and deform as it dries out...- igloo

The Danish Pipe Shop . There are also special fluids that are made for internal cleaning of the pipe, and several types of products for outside care of both the bowl and the stem. Don’t use water or soap to clean the pipe. http://www.danishpipeshop.com/info.asp?text=7#.V9ja8-RTGhc- igloo
