Best place to keep your pipe.

[butternutsquashpie]

Heyy everyone,
So i'm pretty new to pipes. In fact, the only reason I got myself one is so I can smoke my shredded up Fake Cohiba Cigars (via this thread: http://www.ukcigarforums.com/showthr...th-fake-Cigars ). But I digress.
I've noticed that the pipe gives off quite the odour after a smoke and don't really want that going into other areas of my house. Where do you mates keep the pipe?
Also, would I have to store it under wet, ambient or dry conditions?

All help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

a lot of the smell goes if you clean it. I just stick it on a shelf in my living room. It isn't as noticeable as you think it will be.

Do you smoke in your house though? I don't really, so periodically, I can hint at the small odours in the corner.
And how do you clean it? Just a moist towel or paper towels? I've heard of people using ethanol or some other shite cause it leaves the pipes "dry" and fresh. Or is that just unneccessary??

Thanks,

I smoke inside once or twice a week if its a small bowl as that is all she will tollerate. I have to be careful with what tobacco it is though.

To clean it I put a pipe cleaner through and leave on the window sill to dry. After an hour or so just put on the shelf.

Ah, so that's what those things are for! I haven't heard those two words together since grade school art class....
Alright, thanks a bunch!!

Don't leave the pipe cleaner in when drying (my post wasn't too clear). Also the used pipe cleaner smell like shit. Be careful where you throw them out. I try to put them in a bottle in the bin so the smell can't escape.

Just wipe the inside of your pipe with a paper towel - not a wet one unless it's high grade alcohol. As Eddie says run a pipe cleaner with a bit of alcohol on it through and your pipe won't stink too much

I think i'll use some cheap single malts i have lying around. Like my Aberlour 12 which just isn't very good. Should add to the m?lange of flavours i have kicking around here
That's what i used when a few of my Montecristos got some mould on them......
