[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 236963, member: 2318"] This may sound, um, curious -- I've seen sandpaper tubes in some pet shops for the perches in canary cages. It's a way for the little yella fellas to keep their nails trimmed. It occured to me that they might also serve in the place of a reamer to precisely maintain the char in the pipe bowl without introducing mechnical devices. I've used a pipe tool -- both nail and Czech -- to chip the char. This has worked well for the pas 40 years, though sometimes I knock off a bigger chip than intended. I haven't used a reamer, because my practice has been toward frequent touching up rather than waiting for the bowl to be half blocked. So has anyone tried use of the sandpaper boidy perch for smoking pipe maintenance? [/QUOTE]
