[QUOTE="joshoowah, post: 412200, member: 1977"] Lately, I've been smoking 1-2 bowls per day. The way I "clean" my pipes is using a paper towel to clean the bowl of debris. I'll then take a bristled cleaner and rotate it around the inside of the bowl to make sure it is an even cake. Then, I run a cleaner from stem to bowl. When it is cooled down, I'll remove the stem to make sure there is no gunk build-up in the mortis, or stem for that matter. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and run it through the mortise a couple of times. Lastly, I leave the stem detached from the pipe for bit before reinserting and putting the pipe away. I, also, use a soft cloth to wipe the rim of the bowl. All of this takes 3-4 minutes most of the time. I rarely, if ever, use any alcohol on my briar, but I never feel the need to either. I like my pipes shiny, but I've never had to do much to keep them that way. [/QUOTE]
