[QUOTE="babysinister, post: 107378, member: 714"] Six of seven of my pipes are 6mm filter Savinellis. Since I sometimes smoke 5-6 bowls a day, I grab the filtered pipes to avoid getting pipe tongue by the last two bowls and to cut down on the tar and nicotine, to which I've developed a low threshold in my old age. So my purpose is to filter the smoke, not necessarily to keep the shank cleaner. After every bowl, filtered or unfiltered, I pipeclean the shank and stem with Brebbia or Denicotea pipe cleaning fluid. Letting the soaked pipecleaner sit, as Sasquatch advises, brings out the gunk and oxidation not only from the shank but also the hard deposits in the stem itself, which are insidiously deceptive but do alter the taste of the tobacco over time. I also clean the bowl this way, after every smoke, as I find that it prevents the pipe from going sour on me. [/QUOTE]
