    How clean is clean? I cleaned my pipe stems with vodka and pipe cleaners, and they never came out clean even after four or five. Also, what can I use to clean wide pipe stems? Some of my pipe stems are very wide, and the pipe cleaner doesn't even touch on the inside even after doubling it...

    I'm looking for low alcohol cocktail recipes. The odder, the better. Preferably, ones you don't find in books. I created these cocktails: "Ginger elopes with Joey" Looking for a better name (suggestions welcome) 2 ounces Ginger liquor @ 25% ABV Bitters as preferred by the imbiber. 2 or more...

    ok..I did some research and I checked the forums. I found something similar to my question but not quite it. The guys at the B&M (haven't seem them in a bit cause I'm busy) mentioned they clean their pipes with bourbon, vodka, etc. But they mention that they don't do much but wipe it down...

    Gustavo (RequiemPipes) asked a friend of his who is a graduate student in chemistry to make a video commenting on cleaning pipes with alcohol. I thought some of you who don't frequent the YT pipe smoking community might find it interesting.

    Can anyone tell me if Isopropyl alcohol 95% is ok to clean a pipe with instead of everclear. Is or would there be a foul odor after.:ask:

    In the short time I've been smoking I've noticed a striking subjective difference between the effects of alcohol and the effects of nicotine. I say subjective because it's purely a difference in how similar levels of "impairment" feel to me. In high school I decided to give alcohol a good test...

    I don't know how other states handle alcohol, but in Texas, each demarcated (did I use that right?) voting district can have an election to allow alcohol sales in the form of restaurant sales, bars, beer and wine for off-premises consumption, or full package stores. Anyway, our county has in...

    So I just got some estate pipes off of the eBay and need to clean them up. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I was watching the videos of people using the Alcohol and Salt treatment. I am ok doing that but what do you do after the 24 hours of sitting? I just dig it all out and then what? How do I get all...

    Last night was a good night. There was Scotch, CCs, and guns. Oh, and nobody got shot which is always a good thing :-) Share your ATF stories!

    I'm not sure how many others have noticed their nic tolerance rising when they drink. When I drink I can smoke cigarette after cigarette, and one time I downed a ramon allones CC (churchill) in one sitting without getting sick (and, btw, it was a glorious cigar). A few months earlier I got...

    Hey everyone, I was wondering...does MB Navy Flake contain any alky? Navy flake has become such an ubiquitous word that it doens't mean much of anything anymore. Appreciate your thoughts on this...

    Keep in mind I'm a n00b here so someone may have tried this before. I recently acquired a really nice estate Stanwell that looked very clean besides a thin cake. After a basic clean I loaded it up and noticed that nasty soap-tasting old-pipe smell and taste. Decided to do the salt and alcohol...

    I guess I'm progressing pretty well in my pipe smoking life since I'm approaching the need for a more thorough cleaning of them. I've read several different methods that people use to do this but my question is this. When I read that someone is using alcohol to aid in the cleaning of their...

    As an experiment I decided I would treat the bowl of my Comoy's which has been dedicated to strong Latakia English blends. I used some Vodka (all I had) and cotton balls and let it sit for about 36 hours. The cotton balls turned a very nasty color and I got more curious. How would this thing...

    I came across quite a bit of 200 proof (pure) ethyl alcohol a while ago, and I was wondering if this could be used to clean a pipe bowl. I know lots of people use Everclear since it has a high proof, but I was wondering if 200 proof would be too high? And then there's the matter of the alcohol...

    I keep reading where people talk about cleaning pipes with alcohol.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Are they referring to using salt or cotton balls to fill the bowl then saturating that? Or is there another method of cleaning...
