John Aylesbury Tapered Bristle Tobacco Pipe Cleaner

I've come to realize the extra money is totally worth it!

Superior Quality, absorbent and ridged. The price is modest considering their excellent construction.

What can you say about pipe cleaners, except that they work?

The best pipe cleaners around. They don't leave fuzz behind and they are stiff enough to use.

These are some great quality pipe cleaners. The wire used in these is very sturdy. They do not bend easily, so these are more recommended for straight or properly drilled pipes (not needing to pre-bend or manipulate the pipe cleaner to get it to pass). They don't shed like most other brands, and have a thicker, more coarse fibered bristle to them, NOT METAL, which I prefer as it will not scratch the inside of my stems. I'm not the biggest fan of tapered pipe cleaners due to the pipes I smoke and draw that I prefer, but for what these are, they are worth 5 stars to me.

I was expecting something similar to the BJ Long tapered bristle pipe cleaner which were out of stock when I placed my order, so thought I'd give these a try. Package was marked as a "bristle" cleaner. Unfortunately they do NOT have a wire bristle. I didn't really see the difference in a plain soft cleaner.
