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

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

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
