Decatur Pipe Shield Briar-Fresh

It improved the smoking pleasure , with better flavor and smell.

Works well

Cleans like a champion.

Great!

This stuff works really well. Along with my new reamer I caught up my pipe cleaning quickly.

Does a good job on cleaning stems but does leave a bit of after taste kind of minty

It certainly smells good and it sweeten the taste.

Easy to use and removes the nasty nicotine taste.

Seems to freshen up my pipes.

It is everything that it has been advertised being.

The Decatur cleaner worked very well when used on my stem and pipe bowl. It instantly removed the tar residue from those two areas. Great product. I'd recommend it anytime!!

If your pipe is starting to make the tobacco you love taste a little funky. It’s time to clean it up. This stuff works great takes all the ghosts out of the pipe and brings it back so you can have a nice tasty smoke again.

Very good product.

Works good

Works great

Nicer

Refreshing

Sure helps

I liked it, could feel a deference in smoking my pipe.

Really great to refresh your pipe

gave me a clean and sweet to my pipes.

Makes it easier to clean stems. Adds a nice flavor for your next bowl

Works great

It's great, really freshens my pipe!

Worked great

I really like the Banditos cigars they are my favorite

An excellent product.

Goid

I'm looking for a fluid that can clean; this one appears to be superior to most I can buy.

I never knew I needed this in my life. I will definitely be buying again.

Works as stated, I'm satisfied!

havent used it since i dont smoke a pipe. looks and smells like it should be ok though.

I'm pretty meticulous about cleaning my pipe, so there typically isn't much build up. However, I'm thrilled I got to try this product. This really did brighten the flavor, getting my pipe cleaner than ever before. It will be a regular item in my pipe box going forward.

I like the tobacco. It has a great aroma and taste good. It is hard to light and seems to burn unevenly.. It is not quite as good as Vanilla Custard>

Great product, makes my pipe fresh again.

A great introduction into pipe smoking

Leaked all over shipping box. Smells nice, but I just use a little straight bourbon whiskey to dip pipe cleaners in.

Thank you pipesandcigars for including this my last order. It is a great product.

Wasn't sure if this would be all that useful, but it seems like something I will almost certainly buy again. Really clears the airway of the stem, makes the draw much more open if the pipe is gunked up, and reduces or neutralizes bad odors or flavors that may have stuck around past their welcome. Very helpful in regular maintenance and cleaning of neglected pipes.

Very refreshing

Haven’t used this yet. However it’s what I’ve been looking for to clean my stems

Worked great on some of my older pipes as well as the newer ones.

very good pipe cleaners and pipe freshener works very well

Does a good job getting the gunk out pf the stems. I only thought my stems were clean until I yried this. Good product

Original shipment came with broken bottle. They sent me a replacement the same day and I got it in 3 days. Great customer service.

Great thanks

An excellent pipe cleaner

clears airway

Did not notice any difference.

I just cleaned 7 pipe stems in under 8 minutes. It certainly clans tar of your stems. I like how I can drive my pipe cleaner into the bottle. I only need 1 paper towel to help with the clean up. I did all of this over a trash can at my desk. I did as the instructions say,"Don't use on wood." It also didn't burn my hands or damage my rings. Good Stuff!!! 💪👍👍💪

good stuff

Was a bit skeptical at first because it smells like wintergreen mouthwash. However, it does a pretty thorough job of cleaning tar build up, and the smell truly goes away with no detectable ghosting flavor after about 30 minutes.

Cleans stems and gives nice fragrant

Works great with bristle pipe cleaners.

Great for cleaning pipes

This really refreshes my pipes. Love the product.

Works good thanks

Good product but I’m a traditionalist. I’ll stick with rum or bourbon to to clean my bowl and stems when needed.

Good products - good price

Good

Works well at making a fresher tasting smoke.

Good stuff right here.

The product is no doubt fine. Its name isn't so swell. I was misled into buying it because I imagined it was somehow meant to snazz up the outside look of my briars.

It cleaned the pipe well and left a great taste.

Does what it supposed to do

Great experience

Nice

Works well. Keeps the stem fresh and clean.

Freshens pipes and enhances the smoking enjoyment.

Excellent. Sweetens nicely. Affordable

New to pipe smoking and this answers the questions about what to use for keeping my pipe clean.

An ease to use and leaves a clean smell without tainting the airway taste.

Good folks that know their business

It's worth a shot. Does what it says it's going to do. Helps cleaning up old estate pipes and getting a good smoke out of them. Worth a try? Shape

This is quite new to me and I’m not as yet sure how I like it!

I’m very happy with all items and will definitely enjoy the pipe for years.

Very nice!

You will probably like it as a freebee. Too much of a hassle for me, though.

Good stuff. Works fast.

Provided a fresh clean taste. Good product.

Keeps the pipe stem fresh and smokin’ like the first time.

Love it! Refreshes pipes well.

Great tobacco Great taste Great price 👍

Rejuvenated my pipes

Very good cleaner. Pipe was fresh after using

Don't like chemical on wood, can absorb into grain.

Wow! Easy clean up. Fresh scent that dissipates quickly. No residual

Works very well. Cleans and refreshes the pipe stems .

Excellent choice

It's a cleanser

Nice product should last me a while , only takes a small amount to be effective. Works well for me

Helps keep my pipes free of bitter residue.

Works just like it should and makes you feel better with the results.

works great. clean my pips thought they was good and clean. then tryed some of this right ofter i cleaned it. and the clean showed me i was wrong it wont as clean as i thought. well worth the money. will be ordering more of this.

Briar Shield restored some of my most over smoked pipes. They now smell fresh and clean… like new! It enhanced the flavor of their smoke drastically!

While the liquid is effective the best feature is the flip up spout, into which a pipe cleaner can be inserted. The result is a perfect distribution on the pipe cleaner of liquid!

Cleans and freshens my pipe stems weekly

Does a great job keeping the pipe fresh and clean

Cleans the buildup in the stem really good. Smells like Scope mouthwash. WILL strip the stain on your bowl so be careful. I know this because the bit of paint that's on the inside of one of my shank got wet with it and came right off!

This cleaner is absolutely fabulous. I rotate 3 briars and clean them ones a week with this product. Make sure to let them dry out for a little over a half hour before sparking them. I would also highly recommend not using this to “clean” the outside paint on your pipe.

Does the job. Keeps your smoke from being stale or musty. I buy old pipes, clean em up, and apply this at the end of the process. So far, it has always worked great to ensure the best flavor and texture.

Worked just fine; but so does PGA (pure grain alcohol) from liquor stores, and one heck of a lot cheaper.

Smells like mouthwash to me, but otherwise seems to work fine. Mostly I bought the bottle for the cap. Probably just going to throw some cheap bourbon in there once I run out.

Just started using it this year, really seems to freshin up the pipe and helps a lot in cleaning the grey smoky tint out of the amber plastic MM mouthpieces. I will continue to use it in my pipes.

Work's great, put it on a pipe cleaner and you're done 👍

All of the above, smell, blend and chance. Great product.

Really helps to eliminate the old tobacco ghosting. Two applications works best.

I really like the light scent it leaves.

Love this stuff! Just hate having to wait 30 minutes lol, but it’s worth it!

This cleans my pipes and leaves them smelling fresh

was pretty good-would prefer another sent besides mint

This stuff is awesome.

this stuff works exceptionally well. leaves no lasting taste or smell, highly recommend.

Now that I cannot find "Yellow Bowl" anymore, this does the trick and keeps my pipe stems clean and fresh ! Very Good !

~it takes the bitterness out

Ok

Excelent cleaner, Nice light quiet scent, Works very well Highly recommend , will be my go to cleaner from now on.

Does a good job refreshing.

Dissolves residue in bowl and stem, leaves a sweet taste once dry.

First time try I realy like, especially with the hole in center of spout, no spill no mess,great stuff 😁

Works great

Giv es a great cleaning to my pipes to give a better tasting smoke

Cleans out pipes and short term pleasant taste.

Nice cleaner freshener.

Was able to give pipes a really good cleaning. Pleasant aroma and no bad taste after cleaning.

Good

Don't know what it is about this stuff, but it works excellently! that minty smell leaves and my pipes smell sweeter than when I use Vodka or Iso alcohol to clean them. (I live in Pa. where you can't buy EverClear or 190 proof alcohol without a letter from your Great Great Grandmother's Mother...too many college kids poisoning themselves with it.) Seems it will last a long time and I'll be getting more... Brian

Works fine.

Pipe Shield along with pipe cleaners really clean my pipeswell

Ok but yellow bowl is sweeter

It really cleans the stem really well. The taste of your tobacco comes through. I'm using it just about every day . lol its worth the half an hour wait!

Easy to use. Works. Stop wasting my good whiskey.

fast shipping

The product does what it says it does so I highly recommend it.

Cleans and refreshes pipe very well.

Works great

Excellent

Been using this for years, does an excellent job of cleaning stem.

Best pipe cleaner I've ever used. Does a great job keeping my pipes fresh. I will continue to use this product.

Resolved some of the soot in pipe

works well.

Gives the best opportunity for truly tasting the richness of any blend you smoke.

I have used it for years because it works well.

This is my go to pipe stem cleaner. Freshens great!

Does what it is supposed too. Wish they sold it in larger bottles. I always run out when I need it most!

Keeps my pipes fresh as advertised

Works great cleans and get oder out

Twice a month to once a week keeps your stem sweet.

Works great but I go through it too quickly. I own a couple dozen pipes I smoke in rotation then treat them all at once (filling bowls with cheap whiskey and letting sit overnight after reaming the bowls and using this on the stems).

Need it for your pipes. Makes pipes very enjoyable again. It is a must for pipe smokers.

Clean and let dry before use

Works well freshens up the pipe

Works great

Good product. Freshens my pipes. Very satisfied!

Decatur Briar Fresh is an exceptional cleaner and sweetens up your next smoke.

Good deal

Great for sanitizing

Works great...leaves pipe clean and smelling good..

good

Cleans air ways very quickly, dries quick and does leave any flavoring in the briar.

This is great. I should tried it a long time ago.

Luv this stuff! It leaves my stems squeaky clean ! I definitely recommend using it!

Works well

Its ok for what it does. I've tried better back in the day. It could be a little sweeter.

You need a pipe, tobacco, lighter, tamper, Pipe cleaners and BRIAR FRESH Pipe cleaner = Happy Camper! Absolutely essential item to keep those expensive pipes in your collection in tip top shape. Just dip your pipe cleaner in the flip top hole and go to town. Clean smell and quickly evaporates. NOTE: Be very careful not to get the liquid on your briar finishes. The finish is an alcohol based dye and the cleaner is also alcohol based. You can figure the rest out but do it in your head, not on the pipe because it could (will) damage your finish.

Makes my pipe smell and taste better

Cleans and gives the airway a nice minty taste. I think it makes my pipes smoke a little sweeter. just a little on the tip of a pipe cleaner is all it takes. I use it after every smoke.

Product did exactly what it was advertised to do. Great product.

This is a gppd pipe cleaner, if used as directed. Effectively sweetens your smoking experience with a heavily smoked pipe.

Easy to use and cleans with ease. After cleaning want to wait 30 minutes before smoking to make sure cleaner is dissolved. Makes smoking more enjoyable when you keep clean.

It gets my pipe bowls and stems clean and fresh.

Great cleaner

Works but VERY strong on the alcohol.

Keeps your airways nice and clean and no foul tastes

great way to get a pipe cleaned.

This is truly the best and most effective pipe cleaner I have used in my four decades of pipe smoking. The price is nice,too.

Use the Briar Fresh every day! Keeps the pipe clean and ready to use again. It removes all the gunk out of the stem and shank so that the pipe smokes sweet and fresh. Great stuff. I keep plenty on hand at all times so I never run out!

Does the job.

Been using this product for a long, long time. Great stuff.

This is the best ever pipe cleaner I have found

It really worked well.

great

I like the fragrance and how it cleans my pipes without having to use a lot.

Works good.

Loved it. Expensive in my opinion.

All the Decatur products are good. This is no exception.

Works great

The pipe cleaner does a nice job cleaning with out the alcohol smell or taste but the polish is outstanding, I usually buy estate pipes because there is no break in period and I can get an expensive pipe for a fraction of the price and the polish makes them look BRAND NEW!!!!!

Freshen your pipe with this stuff.

Nothing worse than having the pipe rack on the end table next to you stinking like an old ash tray. To alleviate the problem I clean out both the stem as well as the bowl after each smoke with Briar Fresh Airway Cleaner. Cuts down on the stink and keeps my pipes fresh and sanitized between smokes.

First rate. Clean and let dry. Removes all the old taste and lets you smoke and enjoy your fresh pipe as if it was new.

Works great

OK...I confess. I let my pipes go way too long without proper cleaning. It looked like my options were a) by a pint of cheap gin (I dislike gin, intensely, as it smells like juniper trees) or b) get a bottle of Decatur Briar Fresh Airway Cleaner. I don't know which is less expensive, cheap gin, or Briar Fresh. What I can tell you is that Briar Fresh has a much more agreeable scent to it hands down. And it did clean out my pipes just as well as cheap booze. Get this stuff. It works. And it won't taint the taste of your favorite pipe tobacco, either.

This is a very mild and aromatic blend, I like the way it was blended and the richness of the smoke. I would recommended the blend to anyone.

No lingering after taste

This product works just as well, in my opinion, as rubbing alcohol but without the awful taste+odor of alcohol. It reminds me of mouthwash when you use it but when it dries theres no odor or taste. Its good stuff.

Effective cleaner and easy to use.

Works well,haven't tasted anything after cleaning.

it is ok. not special

I am a pipe junkie. Sometimes the pipes sit for a long time between use. It is nice to hit a pipe with a freshener 10 minutes before lighting up. It does enhance the smoking.

I waited for this to get back on their shelves and nabbed two bottles before it disappeared again, as it did. I got this because my girlfriend complains about the old smell of a smoked pipe sitting in the room. I run some of this down the stem with a pipe cleaner, and then stuff a cotton ball in the bowl and add a few drops to the ball and let it sit. Removes gunk and smell. She doesn't notice anymore.

GREAT STUFF.

great

have not used it yet

Very good product. I have a few old pipes that black resin was beginning to be a problem and this stuff really helped remove it without having to use some unsafe product/remover. I would suggest the Decatur pipe wax too. It really helps bring back the luster of your favorite old briar pipe.

This is a fine product.It is great for weekly maintenance cleaning.Disolves resins,and your white pipe cleaners will turn brown(as they should).On a pipe that hasn't been cleaned in ten years,stick to a retort and Everclear

I got this on sale what can I say it works there are other things you can use.but I wanted to try this. I use it after an alcohol cleaning to give my pipes a fresh smell to them. It's like a mouth wash.

I was using regular rubbing alcohol to clean out the mouth pieces and would notice the next time I smoked it still had a funk to it. The Briar fresh gives it a clean scent and clean test. Kudos to Decatur

I've really enjoy the pricing on tobacco. The Holiday $25.00 cash was great and I'm very Thankful for that. Keep up the great work. Also your delivery is spot on. Thanks. Tim from Montgomery IL.

Works well good value

Works really well for cleaning the stem. I've only had to use it once so far.

Effective, quick, and easy to use I rely upon this fine product to keep my pipes clean and fresh.

It cleans my pipe thoroughly and fresh smoke after couple of hours. Not like other Product that you have to wait for 24 hours.

Does what it's supposed to do. Cleans & freshens plus the price is right!

I like this liquid for routine pipe Maintenence. It doesn't cut through grime like grain or isopropyl alcohol, but you don't always want to use those "big guns". If you have a good cleaning regimen, this will be a great product to keep your pipes clean. It's not enough to sanitize an estate, IMO, but is quite handy to keep around.

Works well. I especially like the small hole in the top to insert the pipe cleaner.

It got the job done I had some old pipes and it cleaned them right up

Good stuff knox the smell out your pipes in one shot.

I use Brisr Fresh to clean my pipe each day and love it.

Great

The shield clns; my pipes better now that i am using it. Briar-Fresh Shield gets all the built up tar & nicotine out for a better draw when using my pipes

Works

Briar Fresh is a great freshener for all my pipes. I love the sweet and refreshing smoke I get after using it.

good stuff

What's to say; it works.

This stuff works great. I just ordered my second bottle. It has a great odor and leaves your pipe stems refreshed and clean. I highly recommend trying this.

This stuff works great on my briar and on my cobs. Really cleaned them out and refreshed them.

Nice product that does what it says it will do, but I can't help but think that this is nothing more than wintergreen scented "rubbing alcohol" that you can get a twelve oz. bottle for costing a buck.

It appeared as though the solution has removed some of the bitterness from tobacco juice in the stems. I use it on both the stems and the bowls every 3-4 days.

I received everything as ordered, on time with no complaints.

This is awesome I have a favorite pipe I use a lot didn't know it was so dirty until I used this no more bitter taste

Great cleaner with no after taste.

Very good product,use it.

Good product!

Revived some of my old sour pipes! Whats not to like? cleans and smells like fresh mint at first, becomes undetectable after a short rest.

This took care of some of my sour briars (my own doing) quite well! fresh scent, easy dispensing and cleaning!

Really works. Nice sent.Pie cleaners fit just right, in opening. Would have gave five star's if they sealed the bottle. A little leaked out, just a few drops. At this price defiantly worth the money.

I thought it was hokey that this solution even existed, but I felt that for its price, I'd risk it. It actually did pull quite a bit of tar from my pipe stem in one push, and helped me clean my pipe with far less effort than with a dry cleaner. I plan on buying more in the VERY far future when I actually run out of this one. I wish they would print the ingredients on the bottle though.

Didn't seem to clean all that well, ethyl alcohol seemed to work better, but heck I'm no specialist, so what do I know?

I was a little worried that Briar Fresh by Decatur pipe care products spearmint aroma would power through the flavors and tastes of the next tobacco I smoke in my pipe after using it for the first time. This was NOT the case though! I used the Briar Fresh and allowed my pipe to dry for 24hrs. Not only was the mint undetectable but the ghost of tobaccos past in my pipe was gone! My only complaint is the nozzle for the bottle. It's a flip up type and in my opinion should either be like an eyedropper with a screw off lid or just the screw off lid by itself. In delivery a little Briar Fresh leaked out of the flip up nozzle, but the good people at P&C bagged the bottle all alone in a separate bag which saved my other products! Not much was lost. I also was happy that the Briar Fresh removed the black stains around the bowls rims with absolute ease! I'm very please and will buy more before I run out if this price stays as fair as it is!

Its what I expected & came on time.
