Grumpy Gramps Cleans His Pipe

Grumpy's gonna show you how to clean your pipes, and I don't mean the ones you smoke on. I'm talking about those fancy pipes you puff on with that fancy tobacco.
Now, if you don't clean those pipes right, you're gonna be sucking in more than just tobacco, and that's not what you want. That's why I'm gonna show you how to do it right, using a pipe tool, wire-reinforced pipe cleaners, and Q-tips. And don't forget the fostner bit or wire brush to get rid of all that gunk.
But listen up, because here's the real secret: you gotta let that pipe sit for a day before smoking it again. Yeah, you heard me right. You gotta give it time to rest and recover, just like you do after a hard day's work. And if you rotate through your pipes, you won't have to deal with that wet, bad-tasting experience. Trust me, I've been doing this for decades.
So sit back, grab a pipe, and watch as Grumpy Grandpa shows you how to take care of your smoking pipes the right way. And if you don't like it, well, I don't really care.

Wow that’s a hardcore way to clean a pipe👍 not sure I’m ready to take a razor blade and drill to my collection of pipes yet, but hands down awesome video. Always willing to learn new techniques and whatever else.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

It works. Which pipes do you smoke most?

[@zatarraii7234]

I can see this being quick/effective with my throwaway cheaper pipes but Good Lord no I would not do that with my Castello or Ser Jacopos

[@unasperfectasvalencia]

That's crazy!!! Great example of how not to do and how not to smoke! That's incredible amount ah liquid inside. Can't even imagine how it could happen.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Chuckle , I do have a proper pipe cleaning coming out , but sometimes its balls to the walls ( I set up that pipe for that, for the vid , and no it didn't smoke for shit

[@OldUncleMike]

I usually try to clean mine after every smoke, after they cool off. Just pipe cleaners. My wife still says they all stink. lol.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Mine says the same. P.U.

[@Subgunman]

My uncle used brandy to soak out his bits and a bit in the pipe shank to clear out any excess tar and ash. Tried it and it leaves a nice taste to the smoke.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Great tip - that would be tasty.

[@alejandrokhan3815]

I use brandy if it’s been a long time. I agree on the taste as well

[@waynetrainor654]

I use flavored Vodka that someone gave me, only whiskey I prefer is unflavored.@@grumpygrandpasgarage

[@blankreg420]

thanks...it's 420 somewhere from one grumpy grandpa to another peace

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Party on, Garth ;)

[@familiarstranger9617]

this is a good tutorials for someone starting and learning how to maintain their pipe!

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Glad you think so!

[@mushroomleg]

more people who smoke pipes need to see this. especially the snowflakes with softy bits and white gloves!!!! rock on, Gramps.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Rock on, mushroomleg. Gotta know the story behind that.

[@tyrarubin1512]

You are a great mentor. Love your sprite.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Thanks for hanging out.

[@comodsuda]

I bought an adjustable cutter for removing this junk and a multi-grinder with a small brush to clean it fully. But in general method is the same, only the tools you use are more risky

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Yup - it's always "finesse... not force"

[@HubertusSchaper]

Hi Spook, cleaning the pipe is a cozy piece of relaxation, It`s about 100 years ago when I smoked a pipe. for the last time .greetings, Hubertus

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Probably smart, HCS. Definitely a hand habit.

[@kotolv115pold]

Некоторые люди когда чистят трубки: важно делать все методично, чтобы не повредить нагар, аккуратно Этот мужик: так, где мой перфоратор? )

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

иногда приходится бить мячом по стенам, а оригинальный карбон все еще был там после того, как я закончил

[@J-DSPIPEDREAMS]

Cool video, my wife and I just started our YTPC channel, its allot of fun, thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

new sub for you , keep doing what you enjoy ,

[@Toshiro_Mifune]

Interesting, i prefer doing all that by hand using smaller tools. This way i can feel how much gunk or "creme" as we call it, i want to remove.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

there that thanks for the watch

[@edvardlimadasilva4627]

Boa noite, uma vez para limpar a piteira usei álcool em gel. Mas não seria melhor usar o filtro dos cigarros adaptado na piteira? Saudações de Vargem -SP BRAZIL.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Quando comecei a fumar cachimbo, usei filtros. Mas mudei para as câmaras maiores - parece eliminar a necessidade do filtro, embora exija mais limpeza dessa maneira.

[@LouisianaBlackwaterFlyFishing]

I like apple whisky cleaning my pipes sometimes :)

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

To drink? Or to clean? Or both?

[@LouisianaBlackwaterFlyFishing]

@@grumpygrandpasgarage both cleaning the pipes lol

[@GT_Racer347]

Oh yeah 👌

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

What’s your favorite pipe tobacco?

[@GT_Racer347]

@@grumpygrandpasgarage A local blend, using black Cavendish. Very aromatic!

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

@@GT_Racer347 would love to try it

[@jamesashmore503]

Use pipecleaners dipped in methylated spirit and buy a decent pipereamer. Finally, wax and polish the wood.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

a good method , but with some bad smoke pipes ( poorly designed , som time you have to go viking on it , and no this is not my standard clean

[@maximdupont]

C'est un nettoyage de viking 😅😂

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

tout le monde veut être un viking jusqu'à ce qu'il soit temps de faire des trucs de viking

[@kamoboko86]

How to ruin your pipe 101. Holy S##t.... Definitely entertaining though.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

only with my daily... 30+ years - finesse, not force

[@kamoboko86]

Theoretically you could use a jackhammer to remove carbon from your pipe if you are precise enough. But the risk of damage is intense. That being said I am in the school of thought that I don't care if I pass my pipes on to the next person. I want to use them however I want and if they don't survive me then thats fine too. Haha

[@Subgunman]

I inherited several of my uncles pipes when he passed. We are still trying to figure out where his two Calabash pipes disappeared to.

[@user-qh9cr5nk2w]

Чищу трубку после каждого курения ершом. Такого как на видео с моей тоубкой просто не бывает.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Google translate broke ... thanks for watching

[@Exiledk]

I don't allow my pipes to become that filthy... I wouldn't recommend using a stanley knife in them either... As for the drill and the wire brush.. no. Use a pipe reamer for heavens sake... Don't do this, people.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Everyone's got their own way.

[@waynetrainor654]

How do I clean my 6 cobbs.

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

No idea, honestly - it's been about 35 years since I smoked a cobb.

[@sagestrat7138]

I thought about getting a pipe until I saw the inside

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

Better in the pipe than in the human.

[@caritup]

Why does grumpy gramps have a trendy hipster beard like he's 25?

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

same beard Ive had since I was 16

[@fernandogagliardo6618]

A fra'....sii proprio nu zuzzune...!! 🤦‍♂😮

"By the way....don't be a jerk...!!" Yup.

Welcome to Grumpy's, HCS

[@simonmartin5284]

You inhale every time otherwise what's the point..

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

no strictly mouth , its not really about the Nic hit ( you do get some )

[@Woodin_Woodstock]

Pipe smokers inhale, pipe posers don,t

[@grumpygrandpasgarage]

We're not supposed to...

[@budbower4764]

Pipe smokers do not inhale

[@Toshiro_Mifune]

@@budbower4764 some do, like me, some don't. Pipe tobacco, at least in europe, can be inhaled.
