Thinnest Pipe Cleaners?

[Johnny_Pipecleaner]

A couple of my pipes don't easily clear BJ Long pipe cleaners. They're too thick, or the stem's airway is too small.

I received a handful of unmarked cleaners in a recent tobacco shipment and they're perfectly sized.

Anyone care to share what you've found to be the smallest (thinnest) you've used?

Falcon pipe cleaners are the thinnest I've found.

I bought these chenille pipe cleaners for a vintage meer cutty. They are the thinnest I've ever seen. They're actually used for crafts I believe. I bought them on Amazon but they are probably available at craft stores as well.

The "Castello" branded cleaners I have are very very thin, and I save them for difficult pipes. Long's Regulars are, to my mind, not especially fat. You must have some pretty skinny airways. Oh, just thought, Falcon cleaners are smaller too.

The Dill's (Dr. Grabow) cleaners are thin.

I needed some extra thin pipe cleaners to use on my Peterson amber p-lip stem. The Falcons did the trick.

I was gonna say Dills.

Absolutely #1 for them...

Falcon but Dills are pretty thin and easier to find for me and cheaper, which makes them more useful.

YMMV

The Castello cleaners are the thinest I've found.

Thanks all!

I agree, these are the best pipe cleaners I've tried. They're very flexible and pop back into a straight line after use. Unfortunately, they're very expensive to import to the US. If you have a good, inexpensive, source please share it.

Glad you agree. I'm pretty sure I got the idea from you in the first place!

Walmart. Craft section. They're the cheapest, too.
