hmm, Lefty born in 1986 smoking a tobacco pipe? Suuuuuuuure. Forgive me if im wrong here but......... Ok, ive cleaned a lot of pipes in my day, but they were small and made of metal. What i used to do was find some kind of small tool that could fit into the pipe pieces. A small screwdriver for big parts and a paper clip for long, tubular parts. I would scrape out the big globs of resin that i could. Then, where it would fit, I would twist a tissue into the pieces and pull it out when it couldnt go any further. That was usually enough for me, but if it got really bad i would let it soak in Acetone and rinse off thoroughly when it was done.
They also make pipe cleaners. Its an 8 inch piece of thin wire with tiny rough bristles on it. Use it as i described my tissue technique.

You could probably get them at an Arts and Crafts store.
