[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 382277, member: 1422"] Man, some of you guys are really anal! I thought I was pretty fastidious because I use one pipe cleaner for both mopping up during and cleaning after a smoke. When you said no cleaning, I was thinking no cleaners and no bowl scraping. I have taken to using the spoon on the Czech tool to scrape out loose bits and rub down the side to keep the cake in check after a smoke. I only wipe the bowl each smoke with meers. I have no regularly scheduled deep cleaning routine, but I should probably do so more often. I do, however, rest my pipes for at least a day (sometimes a week). I dedicate pipes and I don't often smoke the same blend back-to-back. Also, the hotter wetter smoke you're experiencing, Jim, is exactly why I thought people rested pipes. Your experience seems to me to show that pipes should be rested. I don't like hot, wet smoke. You report no deterioration in smoking quality except hotter and wetter, so I'm curious what other sorts of deterioration you were expecting. :scratch: [/QUOTE]
