    A little lighter fluid on a Q-Tip and soft cloth should work...

    I've always used whatever alcohol I was using to clean my pipes or quite often if just cleaning my lighters, isopropyl and q-tips with folded up bristled pipe cleaners on the tuff stuff.

    A Castello Natural Vergin G Sea Rock, the photo is a little washed out and does not show the really nice dark carmel color that it has acquired from smoking. My only Kino stamped Castello, all my others are older and stamped Carlo Scotti. This was bought in 2008 and I think was my last pipe purchase.

    Went to the store for din din tonight.Took along my Diplomat nosewarmer cob with pilots mix in it. Beautiful Autumn night tonight. Came back with this awesome cider from my ol home state of Michigan. I would buy this Cider again. Very good,tastes just like apples and it's unfiltered.

    Flushing is just an hour and 15 minutes east/north east of me. Michigan makes great cider.
