The cotton tips absorb moisture and tar well, and the overall length makes them easy to handle whether you’re cleaning right after a smoke or doing a deeper maintenance session. I didn’t have any fraying or loose fibers come off, which helps keep things tidy. In short, these pipe cleaners make maintenance quick and efficient. Solid construction, good absorbency, and just the right balance of flexibility. Nothing really earth shattering here just a good pipe cleaner I would buy again. Would like to see some Churchwarden cleaners from this brand.
