Pipe Cleaners Subject to New Regulations?

[Sweet Home Alabama]

It’s the same with any hobby.

pipecleaners made for crafts don't work at all in cleaning a pipe. They have no absorbent qualities.

Cause they aren't made of cotton. Lotsa plastics, though.

Speaking of hoarding, they work great in case you run out of toilet paper. A little rough at first...but you get used to it.

Yeah that’s what they make fluffy ones for.

I buy five bags with every order.

Pipe cleaners are going nowhere. Hospitals and industries use them to clean out tubes and things, they’re known as “chenille stems” in that world.

I may just be a little more discerning in my pipe hygiene. YMMV

sometimes you make due. Don't worry I got them from the new packs they hadn't opened yet so they should be totally fine.

Tuff Tony says you still have to wash and reuse.

I just ordered 50 of both of each fluffy tapered and 50 of the tapered bristles. I had no worries about getting

I see more a concern about a general breakdown than a mere "tobaccolypse". So, some preppers also smoke pipes, what else is new?

The oft stated advice here that tobacco will never be more available or less expensive than it is now can be applied to a lot of things. So stocking up to some extent on anything that you use regularly isn't a bad idea.

I raised a house full of girls. I've got every kind of crafts shit there is.

I’m sorry but I have to ask, and I don’t know how to do so without sounding a tad misogynist...have you ever tried using a tampon to absorb the moisture from the shank or the chamber?

 

[Blackmouth210]

Wait. First. Which tobaccolypse are we referring to?
The one that was supposed to happen 20 years ago, 12 years ago, 5 years ago, 3 years ago, or the one happening this Saturday?

I don't think they will fit a pipe. Have seen plenty during first aid training.

I am so tempted to just go full on horrible with this. I won't but damn it I am tempted.

One moment. I will take note.....................

Ah, so that's why they make the tapered variety!

Nothing misogynistic about that, those things are damned handy. I keep those in a camping supply box for starting fires. Excellent kindling.

No apology needed at all. We can discuss such products as adults. And a few others will not.

That is an excellent idea. I haven’t heard of that before. Thanks for the tip. ??

At 2.00 per bag, I've been buying pipe cleaners with every tobacco order for the past 5 years or so.

Edit: I had to specify pipe cleaners, as I didn't read where the topic had turned to. Lol
