    Spring cleaning

    Yep it's that time of year to break out the brooms and hoses and start washing away winter.I noticed this morning while finishing a bowl
    of PS Black Coffee,a distinct floral note and the Mrs picked up a room note of virginias.Now normally these are not prevalent in Black
    Coffee so I've come to the conclusion that it's also time to ream the pipes as well.I guess this might be a good time to dedicate pipes to
    the differing blends.

    Hope that reaming job goes well. I use the Castleford reamer set for my conventional briars. For my Kirsten Mariner, I use the excellent Kirsten custom reamer. Milled from steel bar stock, it has 6 cutting edges, and a beautifully knurled brass knob at one end.
    Cognition?
    On.

    I have a dremel with the sanding drum to get most of it and for the heel I use a file blade on my multitool.
    usually does a good job of it,might have to do a s/a on some of my pipes.
