How To Care For Your Pipe | |||
|
Store your pipe out of the light. Sunlight and, to a lesser extent, artificial light speed the rate of bit oxidation and can cause fading of the pipe's natural color. Place the pipe in a rack where it is well ventilated. Maintain adequate supplies on hand for cleaning and polishing your pipes. Wipe off your pipe after every use, with special attention to the part of the bit that has been in your mouth. Don't let dirt or grime stay on the surface of your pipe. Run pipe cleaners through your pipe after every smoke. Every third smoke, use pipe sweetener on pipe cleaners or with pipe brushes to clean out the tar and gunk from the mouthpiece or bit, the air passage in the shank and from the mortise. Clean out the bowl regularly, leaving only a light coating or cake. Buff the outside of the pipe regularly with a soft cloth to maintain a bright clean appearance. Use polish as needed. Maintain your bit or mouthpiece with a bit paste on a regular basis to keep it shiny and glossy. Enjoy the beauty of your clean pipe and the pure taste of your favorite tobacco. |
