Hello!
I need help senior pipe smoker. Wanted to know if I can smoke one pipe, one time in the day (in lunch time), 5 day's in row (from Monday to Friday)? With out cleaning, but only change 9mm filters.
That will not ruin it taste?

Of course i will complete clean the tobacco pipe in sunday

You could, but it would be really nasty after a couple of days. I smoke the same pipe 2-3 times per day for a week or more before rotating, but I give the pipe a thorough cleaning between smokes.

Are you wiping the inside of the bowl after you are done? Running a pipe cleaner through it?

Either way if you are smoking the same blend I don't think it will harm the pipe.

 

[judcole]

Are you asking if it will harm the pipe, or if it would taste OK?
Personally, I wouldn't do it. I may smoke multiple bowls from a pipe in one day, but I at least run a cleaner through it. And then I let it rest for a week or so.

I smoke on my commute which is short, and have pipes with half smoked tobacco often on the rack. There are times when I smoke on it the next day, maybe two days later, but I always run a pipe cleaner through it afterwards. The times I forget can lead to a juicy first puff...

I've never made it 5 in a row, but I say smoke it until the tobacco doesn't taste good or fails to light!

 

[paulfg]

depends what you define as cleaning it.Do you mean not doing anything or do you mean a proper clean.
As stated above I would at least run a pipe cleaner through it after your daily smoke

 

[logs]

Depends on what you consider cleaning and also how juicy your tobacco is. Can you at least run a pipe cleaner through it from time to time?

When i started out i only had 2 pipes so they got smoked alot. I would say i would want to run a pipe cleaner through it after every smoke to wick up moisture. But repeats of same or similar blends where fine imo.

Stick a couple pipe cleaners in your pocket to take to work with you.

I smoke usually 3-5 bowls before my balsa filters get too wet to smoke any more. Then I pull it out, and clean the stem and shank with a cleaner ( just one) to get moisture out.

Very minimal.

 

[workman]

I would at least run 2-3 pipecleaners through stem and shank after each bowl and wipe the chamber with a paper towel.
I think that should be enough, provided that you also clean with alcohol on weekends.
No guarantees, though. I always rest my pipes for at least a day after each bowl.

It's your pipe, you can do what you want with it. That being said I don't recommend it. You'll not damage the pipe in any fashion that can't be undone with a good cleaning but it's all about taste. For example:

I have smoked a nice and mild aromatic in a pipe that I did not clean in any fashion from the day before when I had smoked some Balkan Supreme in it. My favorite aromatic now had a hint of Latakia throughout the smoke. I didn't taste horrible but the Latakia overpowered all the subtle sweetness and flavors in the aromatic.

Even with its Sunday cleaning, the pipe will sour. A few seconds to scoop it out and wipe it out with a paper towel or napkin, and pipe clean the airway would take seconds and keep it more smokable. The obvious remedy is another pipe or two -- a cob, an estate, a Dr. Grabow, little expense. You want good taste, and it's worth ninety seconds.

 

[sablebrush52]

You absolutely can. You may not enjoy the experience or flavors as much by the time that 5th day rolls around, what with all of the tarry gunk that's built up in the stem and sluicing into your mouth, but you absolutely can smoke five bowls without cleaning the pipe.

 

[canucklehead]

One Grabow for a year...

 

[crashthegrey]

As long as you mean deep clean, sure. Run a pipe cleaner through and form a U and wipe the bowl. Then I do this 5 days in a row all the time.

 

[BROBS]

Definitely use at least one Pipecleaner in there between smokes

 

[anotherbob]

I had one time I ran out of pipe cleaners and was waiting for that weekend to buy pipe cleaners. Sad I know. The pipes got really gross after that and needed a deeper cleaning. They're fine though.

I haven't used pipe cleaners in a while.. l know its wrong. I just rinse out with hot water every couple smokes and dry overnight. Sometimes I dry them only for a couple of hours.

You SAVAGE! haha jk man. I would say what you do is probably more thorough than just a standard run through with a pipe cleaner.
