Cleaning and Maintenance. 
A well cared for pipe can last for years, improving with age. To make sure this happens you need to undertake basic maintenance. Never refill a warm pipe, wait until it has cooled. Many smokers prefer two pipes to allow ample cooling time. When cleaning the pipe, hold it by the bowl, the simply tip the ash from the bowl, before running a pipe cleaner through the stem to remove moisture. Do not bang the pipe against a wall or shoe, as this will damage the bowl.
A small layer of carbon will slowly start to accumulate from the first smoking, never allow this layer to get more than 1:16 of an inch (1.5mm) thick or risk the bowl cracking. To maintain this layer use a pipe reamer or smokers knife, (NOT a penknife or pointed object.)
Insert the reamer then slowly rotate to strip way excess carbon.

Following these basic instructions should ensure your pipe smoking experience is a long and enjoyable one. Should you require further help and guidance, do not hesitate to talk to one of Bnity’s members of staff, we will be happy to assist.
