How many pipe cleaners do you own?

[Pugsley]

Hmm, try cleaning your pipe with toilet paper...impossible, but even if very difficult and very painful you can re-purpose the pipe cleaners.....

Just saying, and making a case that the pipe cleaner's more important.

Just watch out when "re-purposing" that you don't grab the bristle cleaners by mistake.

FYI a folded over pipe cleaner makes for a good stand-in for a Q-Tip if you've got an itchy ear... much better than a car key
Bonus points: there's no warning on pipe cleaners not to put them in your ears.

Lots of times I wait till I open my last pack before picking up another. Reckless baby, just plain reckless.

Oh wait; were we supposed to count the churchwardens, extra fluffys and ream 'n' cleans as well? I just found an old 8oz Montgomery tin with pipe cleaners in it; I have six Churchwarden Ream 'n' Cleans and I've never owned a Churchwarden in my life...

[Ropey]

Yes you should count those too.

On a related note, does anybody know where to buy them in person? I don't want to have to go online every single time but I don't know of any major retailers that sell them.

CVS no longer has any smoking stuff. I don't see them at any liquor stores. There aren't any B&Ms that cater to tobacco smoking near me. I even tried a craft store but those pipe cleaners were not made out of the right materials.

A lot of the cigarette / tobacco stores carry them. I can find them at the grocery store in the tobacco aisle, but usually only in small packages with a significantly greater cost / unit.

Walgreens still carries pipe stuff

[GWBowman]

RiteAid carries pipes and lighters. I really don't recall seeing cleaners, but wasn't looking for them.

I'm lucky to smoke a whole bowl in a day. Only have 4 packs of Dill's cleaners, tops.

On a related note, tomorrow 4noggins has H&H Old Vintage Syrian on sale for 5.85 with a 10 tin limit. If you add $41.00 worth of pipe cleaners, puts you over $99, and you get free shipping. Just sayin'...

Wish I could have figured out a way to put "rin" in front of "10 tin"
