OK, I have a problem
I have two pipes with bent stems and I can not get a pipe cleaner through the stems. There is plenty of air flow so there is nothing blocked in them, they are just too small. I don't know if there are any thinner pipe cleaners to use, but my tapered ones won't go all the way through. They get stuck near the mouthpiece. What can I do? Any suggestions?

There is really nothing you can do. I have a few bent pipes I can't pass a cleaner through. I just let these pipes cool down before removing the stem from the stummel so as to not break the shank trying to remove the stem from a hot pipe.
If you do find a solution, please share. I would like to know myself how to pass a pipe cleaner through a bent pipe without having to remove the stem.

Have you tried fuzzy sticks from Wally World?

They look like long pipe cleaners; which is what I use them for.

Yes, but even the standard ones or my long ones for my churchwarden pipes don't fit! I just let the pipe cool off before taking it apart to clean. My problem is when I am smoking and the moisture builds up. I hate it when my pipe starts to gurgle!!

That's right. The pipe cleaners won't fit through the bit or won't fit through the bend in the stem.
