It is recommended to clean the pipe only when it is completely cold. Cleaning while hot can cause damage to the briar, such as cracks or deformations, because the material is more fragile and sensitive to thermal stress. Additionally, ash and tobacco residues are removed more effectively when the pipe is cold, preventing impurities from being pushed deeper into the airway. Regular maintenance performed cold helps preserve the quality of the briar, maintain the original shape intact, and ensures a cleaner and more pleasant smoking experience. For optimal cleaning, it is advisable to use specific tools such as pipe cleaners and soft cloths, avoiding harsh products that could alter the pipe’s finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"page-faq-new.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"class_list":["post-101433","faq-new","type-faq-new","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nShould the pipe be cleaned when hot or cold? | Savinelli<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pipe cleaning should preferably be done cold, when the pipe is completely cooled.
