Next-Level Pipe Smoking: Cleaning and Maintenance of the Pipe

There’s just no way around it. You have to keep your pipe in top shape for memorable smoking experiences. Unfortunately, many smokers go for long periods without giving their pipe (or pipes) the treatment it deserves. It’s not rocket science, really, and that’s why we’ve prepared this guide to help you.

Procedure for Pipe Cleaning 

Routine Cleaning 

To ensure that every smoke is what you want it to be – a thorough pleasure, it's essential to clean the pipe regularly. This practice is most effective when the tobacco remnants of tobacco are still moist. Now, for the steps:

· Remove the remaining tobacco by giving two or three sharp blows from the mouthpiece end. Hold the bowl carefully, some ash and tobacco pieces could stain your clothes. If you have a clogged stem, allow the pipe to cool and before removing the bowl from the mouthpiece.

· Ensure that you don't clean a hot pipe with the mouthpiece in the stem because different expansion rates can cause irreparable cracks.

· If your pipe does not accommodate a filter, you can pass a cleaner from the mouthpiece to the bowl. Slide it a few times to remove all debris from the pipe. If you have a filter, skip this step and begin again when the pipe is cool.

· Now, fold the cleaner into two halves, holding the ends between two fingers, rub the bowl’s inside until only grey ash remains. This carbon layer is enough to protect your bowl from burning and allow you to smoke for much longer.

· You can use a standard cleaner, but sometimes you can use a coarse cleaner comprising of pieces of nylon.

· Rest your pipe with the bowl down and the mouthpiece up. It lets the moisture drop down the bowl, leaving it to evaporate naturally, and allowing it at least one full hour until it cools.

· We usually recommend using another filter every couple of balsa wood smokes. The filter saturation varies depending on the type of tobacco and how you smoke. Remember that the next time you order a pound of tobacco. Removing the mouthpiece from the bowl is an opportunity to use a pipe cleaner.
