How to clean a pipe cleaner?

[LimestoneCowboy]

Beans didn't grow well for me this year, and i tried rattlesnake and red climbers. But the peppers and cukes made up for it.

Have you considered a nylon straw brush coupled with the water flush method?

It's a myth that you have to use a pipe cleaner after every smoke. Sometimes I'll go 10-20 smokes before using one. This will be your cheapest option.

And my proof.

I agree. Cleaning once per day is generally enough for me, especially with a cob. Sometimes, one cleaner is enough, too.

I am going to try an ultrasonic cleaner next!

I bought a Savinelli Autograph, my first briar, and am afraid to smoke it. I feel more comfortable with cobs.

Don't let it scare you, briar's tough. I've had this fellow since 1992 and is still looking good.

There is being frugal and there's a point of diminishing returns. Salvaging a pipe cleaner is clearly well past the point of diminishing returns. There are presently millions of jobs out there that pay 7 to 10 packs of pipe cleaners pet hour. But if cleaning pipe cleaners are your thing have a happy.

Pipe cleaners as currency. The future is now.

Thank you, Embers. That means a lot, coming from you.

Very welcome. Just don't hold the lighter in one place for very long and only hold the lighter in place as you are drawing to keep the flame from licking the edge of the chamber. Pull the lighter away while still drawing and the flame will never touch the pipe.

Yes, this Autograph cost a bundle and I don't want to char it. Appreciate your sharing your experiences. I will smoke it with abandon and with respect.

Another trick is to wipe a bead of saliva around the rim prior to lighting.?

This has run its course. Of course!

Happy puffing, all.
