[QUOTE="bwithers55, post: 38522, member: 522"] I'm from the school of clean your pipe after every smoke unless you plan to fire it back up within 24 hours. I know, it's a long name, for a school, but it gets the job done. I use tapered, fluffy, BJ Longs and grain alcohol. I'll even bend the cleaner in half to get more scour power for my money. If the cleaner comes out with evidence of tar residue in particle form, I keep doing it until there is the lightest of brown color on the cleaner. I scrape the inside of the mortise to remove any accumulated tars or fluff that may have been left from a prior cleaning. Then I'll apply a little stem scrub to a dull bit to bring back the luster, put the pipe together after it's dried and give it the once over with a woolen sock that holds the residue of a commercial pipe wax. Then, I rack the pipe. <g> Bill Withers (newest BoB, for the moment) [/QUOTE]
