Peterson question

[Musicus]

I'm considering getting a Peterson pipe with the p-hole. Anyone know if it's easy to clean with an ordinary pipe cleaner?

Fine I think but I use tapered cleaners all round unless it is a really tight draft on the pipe.

Standard should work just fine too.

FYI, never had a problem with tapered cleaners and a p lip just to let you know. Just other pipe brands may not like the thicker end of the pipe cleaner.

Agreed with @Timbo -- I have a couple P-lip pipes and have had no issue with standard pipe cleaners. The 'fluffy' variants can be a bit of a squeeze but even those have ultimately passed. I tend to use tapered regardless.

I've had no problems with plain or bristle cleaners.

I get two types of cleaners. I get the BJ Longs regular 6inch and 7inch and the tapered. The regular BJ Longs go through a P-Lip perfectly. The tapered I use for the shank only. If you get the cheap fluffy pipe cleaners they won't fit.

I use Dills and they work fine.

A slight bend helps but I've had no trouble cleaning my P-lip Petersons (not p-hole, b.t.w., that's at the end of your penis) with regular pipe cleaners.

Thank you for that, and for the parenthesized clarification (my carelessness).

I love the P-lip and find it brings a different experience to smoking. The only one I have slight difficulty cleaning is the full bent 317. But with care and patience it’s not that difficult to clean with a tapered pipe cleaner.

Only one Peterson, and never had trouble using a standard pipe cleaner. Even less now that I put the stem on a belt sander and did away with the P-lip.

Dills are the best pipe cleaners in my opinion, they are just too expensive to buy in bulk. I've been stocking up on B.J. Longs 6 and 7 inch cleaners. They are 100 percent better.
