[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 308368"] Guess I am the Philistine. I clean em when they need em or I get around to it. I had one pipe that would sour. I'd microwave it for 8 seconds. If you ever try that, start with less. It doesn't take long to heat a pipe. That seem to destroy the evil juices it accumulated. Of course that is with some quite inexpensive pipes. I wouldn't consider nuking anything I thought expensive. I'll be doing that with the cheap estate after soaking it with hootch for a bit. When one seems to need a major cleaning. I soak the cleaner in a mix of Madeira and Cognac. Put it in the pipe after coating the bowl with the cleaner just to dry it a bit. I leave it overnight. Next time out, I pull the cleaner. Pulling the cleaner shows a very dark cleaner but it is fluffy and not at all like one used to open the pipe during smoking. Yes, I know. Castigate as you wish. I said I was a Philistine. Trust me. David has left the building. But, if it makes you feel better... [/QUOTE]
