Your probably right. I was thinking more like a really fine bristle cleaner.houtenziel wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 8:54 amThey do make nylon tubing brushes in sizes that would fit in both the shank and down the stem draft. They aren't the most absorbent things though, so you'd probably still need cotton cleaners to mop up the funk.Bruyere_Royale wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 6:49 amSomeone needs to invent washable hard plastic pipe cleaners. They would last forever.

Fisherman's Friend is my cough drop of choice. Suits my outlook of, if I'm not somewhat in pain, I'm doing it wrong!
When I was a foreman on the railway I worked with a top-notch lad who liked the drink a bit too much, especially for a zero tolerance workplace. I always had a tin of Fisherman's to give him for those times when a manager would have a chat... nothing overpowers a FF

I had to wait until the temperature moderated a bit before I could brave a cold 40deg to have my morning pipe. I enjoyed a bowl of SPRT in the new, to me, Fischer Supreme Poker. The pipe was purchased from one of our better known members who also provided the tobacco, along with several others, to use in it. I can see the SPRT becoming a staple in my collection of tobacco. I'm enjoying this pipe as well.

I am writing a funeral homily this morning. Tomorrow will have a cold graveside service.

Thanks Ft_Tom. I think the combination of the pipe & tobacco are going to be a good pair. I've called what passes for a B&M here and it just so happens that a 6oz bag was on the shelf. They've pulled it for me to pick up tomorrow morning.I want to give you a big thumbs up on the poker as well as the SPRT choice!
Ft_Tom I'm an old USAF Veteran and if the graveside was for me I would tell you to keep it short & sweet. I think your old Veteran would say the same thing.

This man was a veteran, so there will be military honors. My bit in the graveside service is short sweet. I have the advantage of a heavy wool cape for events like this. The homily goes in the church service, and we go from the graveside to lunch in the parish hall. There will be plenty of coffee there to get core temps back up.Bamarick wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 11:17 amThanks Ft_Tom. I think the combination of the pipe & tobacco are going to be a good pair.

You might be interested to know I mention the Dorchester Chaplains in the homily. That is a snippet of military history that needs to be mentioned every now and then.

If you have a Canterbury cap with ear flaps you should wear that tomorrow.
