Ok all, based on this premise…how often do you clean your pipes?

I "dry" clean them (just a pipe cleaner and a paper towel) after each bowl. I tend to clean the shank and stem with cleaning fluid ad hoc, when it starts to taste like it needs a more thorough clean (or when it needs reaming, I'll tend to do a full clean/polish then too).

Ditto what @ric03 said. I do the very same.

Personally, I like tar

Yes , without it we'd be breathing the air better ... which has all that climate change poison in it . Thank God we smoke or we might start getting a fever like the earth is

Only when cake and dried gunk hits critical mass and starts to get in the way and restrict the draw. Otherwise, maintenance is just something to do to kill time if i am bored. I don't have a schedule. I am not that kind of man.
