[QUOTE="Wayne_Teipen, post: 377842, member: 627"] I prefer my pipes "dirty." I call them well seasoned. My pipes are lucky to get a pipe cleaner passed through them after each smoke. I typically smoke two bowls a day out of the same pipe then rest it for several days. I only clean with spirits when they need it which in my opinion is maybe once a year or so. I very rarely take the stems apart. I ream them every few months as necessary. I've yet to have a pipe sour in the seven years I've been smoking them. If you looked at my collection, you wouldn't know that I "neglect" them so badly. Religious and rigorous cleaning has it's benefits but isn't a necessity. Some folks like the process of keeping their pipes "like new" and prefer the taste of a "clean" pipe. Others don't enjoy the cleaning process and prefer the taste of a "dirty" pipe. Do what makes YOU happy. [/QUOTE]
