My wife surprised me with a new medium sized claw from pipes and cigars. This is my first meer, I have no idea how to care for it. With my briars, I usually roll a piece of tissue paper and wipe the bowl clean. I think for that reason, the cake in my briars is pretty thin. I like it that way. So I am guessing that running a pipe cleaner through after the smoke is alright. Do I wipe the bowl clean with tissue after smoking with the meet too? What is your routine after smoke clean-up for your meets? I want to treat this pipe right. Happy New Year everyone!
