Do you go through several pipe cleaners every time you have a bowl?

Just about every pipe that I have I go through 2-4 pipe cleaners. 1-2 during smoking, and 1-2 after.
So far I have found that I like a clean pipe. So I clean a lot. I do not notice or care about gurgles as much as a change in taste.
I usually notice that halfway through a smoke it starts to taste harsh. Cleaners fix this immediately.

I have smoked through gurgle and been happy, its the taste that matters so far.

I also do this with cigar purging. A cigar I thought was a dud will return great flavors after a purge for me.

Probably my technique, but I have found it a great benefit for pipes and cigars.

Tried this the other day and noticed a big improvement in the taste after running the pipe cleaner through halfway through the bowl. Thanks for this!
