Monthly Pipe Cleaning - The Complete Collection

ghostsofpompeii

I usually try to pull out the entire pipe collection at least once a month and give them a thorough cleaning, hand waxing, and add a little pipe sweetener inside the stem and bowls. I usually don't make such a mess of the kitchen table. My normal routine is to pull out five or six pipes at a time, clean them up, return them to their proper storage rack, then grab a half dozen others. Today I opted to pull out the whole batch, set them on the table, and commenced to cleaning. And since I had the whole collection laid out on the table I thought it would be a perfect time to photography the complete collection. Unfortunately my cheap digital camera doesn't provide much details, but each of the pipes was spotlighted at one time or another in either 'The Daily Briar Photoshoot', or the Halloween or Christmas photos I posted.

Good job.  My pipes are due for a deep cleaning, which has been on my to do list for about a month.

Thanks @ghostsofpompeii Next time, break it down in, let's say, 10 pipe groups and consequently give us a closer view of all your pipes. Most impressive and really enjoyed the pic...

I like the fact that your collection isn't just a single brand or shape. I myself have a wide variety of pipe shapes, sizes and materials. I know a lot of people tend to collect one brand, series or shape but I am all over the map. I enjoy them all. Thanks for sharing.

@ghostsofpompeii Nice collection. So do you have a particular pipe you smoke as you clean or does it vary and just become the last on cleaned?
