Grangerous: The pipe with the pipe cleaner filter is probably made by Briarcraft, and called a Smokemaster, a US pipe maker not made anymore to my knowledge. They came up with that filter system in the late 1930s and had it patented. They were also sold under that name by Dr. Grabow I believe.
As for how I've been using the pipe cleaner after smoking, I usually leave one in the pipe over night, and then wipe out the bowl and set it out to dry another day or two.

I leave a pipe cleaner in from time to time. Still, I am using cobs and will do so more regularly when I get my briars.
On a comical note, I keep thinking of our forum posts eventually replacing that 1947 pipe magazine issue. With just a few more years packed in ? . Time changes the perspective.
Which one?Since I live in The Center Of The Known Universe I don't consider it necessary to be specific.
They don’t have to be soluble. You can get butter off a knife by holding it under hot water, and it’s not by creating a solution. The oil becomes less viscous with the heat and can be mechanically washed away by the water or some sort of physical fluffy cleaner thingy.Wait... oils aren't water soluble... ?
