Five Easy Steps To Know More About Cleaning A Smoking Pipe

Cleaning A Smoking Pipe, If you are a smoker, then you must know how fast the pipe becomes dirty; unlike cigarettes and tobacco products which are disposable, the pipe is used repeatedly from time to time. It becomes extremely dirty if it is not cleaned regularly, and it becomes highly unhygienic. As the dirt and the burnt tobacco gathers inside the pipe, it becomes easier for bacterias to grow inside it. It depends on which kind of smoker you are; if you are an occasional smoker, you should be cleaning your smoking pipe once a month or week.

If you are a regular smoker, you need to clean your pipe a few times a week. A maintained pipe can be deep cleaned either monthly or weekly, depending on the dirt and tobacco layering. Depending on the frequency you choose to clean your pipe, there are following steps one needs to follow before cleaning the pipe. While there are different cleaning routines that vary from daily to weekly to monthly, for the purpose of this article, we’ll discuss a monthly deep clean.

What Are The Different Parts Of The Smoking Pipe?

Before beginning the cleaning procedure, you must be aware of the different parts of the pipe. The pipe has two parts that connect the pipe these are called stummel and stem.

The stem is a mouthpiece part where you put your mouth to breathe on the pipe. The parts that adjust the stem are the bit, the button, and the tenon, which is what connects to the stummel. The ground part of the pipe where you pack the tobacco is known as stummel. It has five parts, which include the shank, the mortise, the chamber, the bowl, and the draught hole; knowing which part is which will make cleaning the pipe easier.  

The Tools That Are Much Needed For Cleaning A Smoking Pipe

Q-Tips- These are important for cleaning all the crannies and nooks that pipe cleaners can’t reach.

Paper towels- Paper towels help keep things tidier when you clean up the mess.  

Alcohol- The alcohol helps to sanitize the pipe and kill bacteria. Most people go for rubbing alcohol.  

Shot glass- It makes it easy to dip your Q-tips in, but it is optional.

Pipe cleaners- There are two types of cleaners: soft pipe cleaners or hard-bristle pipe cleaners; you can use whichever you want.

Pipe tools- It helps to pack your pipe and also has an attachment that helps in the cleaning.  

Reamer- This is completely an optional tool you can use for pipe cleaning. It is used to remove the layered tobacco that lines a pipe’s bowl.

Steps For Cleaning A Smoking Pipe

Step 1

The most important part is cleaning the rim of the pipe. You will need alcohol and q tips for this step. Using strong alcohol is not preferred because it may damage the wood. The better idea is to use brandy or rum, which will not affect the texture of the wood but will sanitize and clean it.

Step 2

The second important step is to clean the shank. For following this step, take a pipe cleaner and soak it in alcohol. Use the pipe cleaner to scrub the build-up on the shank. By following the same process that we listed in the first step, these two steps will help in removing the leftover chars and burnt tobacco.

Step 3

The third step is cleaning the stem. Use the pipe tool to scrape the inside of the tenon. Make sure this tool is being soaked in the alcohol. If you want, you can use another bristle pipe cleaner and give a good interior scrub. One must clean this properly, or that might clog the pipe where your mouth goes, so you must make it extra hygienic.

Step 4

The fourth step is reaming the bowl. A reamer tool is required in the step that you should do every month or even in a few months is fine. You can insert the tool into the bowl and twist it. It will clean all the residue and ash that is leftover. Then clean the bowl using the alcohol-drenched pipe cleaner.

Step 5

The fifth and last step is soaking the bowl in salt. This is the best way to make sure every bit of residue and build-up is completely removed. If you have smoked for a whole month, this is an important step to follow to really remove all the grime. The alcohol mixture and the salt do not leak out, for that one must stuff the shank first.

Fill the bowl of the pipe with grained salts, such as kosher salt. Add alcohol to the edge of the bowl, and then let the pipe stay overnight with the mixture. When you are done, simply clean the salt and alcohol mixture, and your pipe appears as the new one.
