What's in your pipe? (Part 1)

I’m currently smoking SG Westmorland Mixture in my Plumb Meer. I’m amazed this blend isn’t more popular. As far as light Englishes go this is right up there-better than EMP in my opinion.

@Mr.O your supposed to clean out your pipes after every smoke regardless of make or style.

I suppose, I wasn’t thinking about it like that. Typically I will run a cleaner through after a smoke, but that doesn’t require removing the stem, which a lot of people try not to do very often- especially before the pipe cools down.

How often do you have to clean out the “well” in a Pete System pipe? I suppose pretty often???

I here with some well system pipes some put a piece of cotton to absorb the moisture.This make it easy to avoid build up of tar. I mostly just clean the stem not often enough .really nasty to get a big glob of tar let loose and hit the roof of the mouth.Most aros clog pipes fast ;they burn hot and moist and it takes discipline to smoke slowly. I am just getting back to some for a change of pace

I have gotten to really like the Kaywoodie’s with the drinkless system. I didn’t think I would, but the maintainence is so easy- even mid-smoke, and I haven’t had one get too loose on me yet. A pal gave me an old Falcon, but the bowl is so very loose, I don’t know how long of a life span those have, but now I’m just a little extra cautious about any unfamiliar system pipe. I usually stick to Englishes and VA’s, so I know the bummer when I have the occasional gurgley pipe full of an aro.
