I have 7 pipes that I smoke every day. One or two pipes get used each day.
I ream and clean every 4 to 6 months. During and after smoking I always run a pipe cleaner through and leave the pipe cleaner in until they cool down.
Never had any issues. Been smoking pipes for 45 years.
I have 7 pipes, all premium brands. 3 of them have been with me for 45 years.
My pipe rack holds 7 pipes.
I smoke every day and I don't need or want any more.
Carter Hall and Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic are my regular staples, always buy tubs.
My favorite premium is Dunhill / Peterson Standard Mixture.
Right now I've been really enjoying Amphora Virginia.
Big car guy here....I was in a meeting a couple years ago (US company) and I overheard someone say they wanted to watch the F1 race that weekend...I said, so you're the other guy. :)
