Pipes Kinda Stink

[Emperor Zurg]

Yeah, they stink. I hear ya.

I run a pipe cleaner thru the stem and swab out the bowl with the same cleaner but they still stink a while.
I store just-smoked pipes outside in a well ventilated area (garage, pole barn, shop) for a few days before moving them back inside. I also find that keeping them inside some kind of a wooden cabinet with doors that close helps to mitigate the stench. I imagine one of those cheap 100ct humidors would work perfect if you wanted to get fancy.

This is what I do. I keep my pipes in the basement and if I store just smoked pipes inside, I notice the smell as soon as I get to the top of the steps. The smell also seems to last a few days if I bring them right inside after smoking. If I just leave them outside for a day or so and then bring them in I do not notice the smell.

I would also get pipe cleaners out! They stink to high heaven.
