Anyone else always forget to order pipe cleaners when they place an order? I just had an order from smokingpipes.com and cupojoes and forgot the cleaners on both orders. Not sure why I cant remember to order them. I guess we dont think about them until we need them.

I order them in bulk ... last order included a Carton (640) of Dill's Bristle Cleaners.
Usually, it's what I use to get the price up to the "free shipping" mark. :wink:

Longs are available with Prime shipping on Amazon. I've used that many times when I forget to add them to my SP.com order.

Grab your photo ID and head down to your local Kroger store, at least one of our members got some there. PM boilermakerandy and he'll walk you through the procedures.
I always "inventory" my stash of cleaners before placing an order for tobacco. I never used to, which is why I now do so religiously.

I buy 'em at pipe shows, usually at a deep discount. They usually have several brands and churchwarden

cleaners too.

No Kroger here and no place closer than an hour and half. When i am close to a shop i usually buy some, but i need to order enough to keep on hand incase a brain fart happens.

4- 6 Oz.'s of bulk and some pipe cleaners is my usual shopping list for my local B&M. My on line orders are more for tobacco in the tin as it is cheaper online.

After last fall I'm up to 14,000 pipe cleaners.

I might order more sometime in the distant future, but for now I'm pretty sure I've got all I need.

Just the opposite. Running out of pipe cleaners is one of the best excuses for ordering more tobacco.

I make about four tobacco orders per month, and always order 10 packs of Long's bristles. Had to resort to craft fuzzy sticks once, and don't ever want to do that again.

Wow, such a price variance on Amazon. One seller had the 100 ct package working out to over $5 each. Then there were regular 40 packs going for less than a dollar. Make sure to do price checking on Amazon but I think they will get my next cleaner order.

It happens often with Amazon. There are firms that are resellers. Most noticeable is the coffee machine pods for the fancy coffee machine made by Nestles...oh, what is the name?? Nespresso. that's it (being older just sucks LOL)
Anyway, I've seen them online for way more than one could buy them directly from Nespresso.
Some folks just don't shop, I guess.

I buy mine at Rite Aid Pharmacy or Kinney Drugs. Also, the Native American Indians own a bunch of gas station/convenience stores nearby. They always carry pipe cleaners, and corn cob pipes at real good prices.
