 Different strokes, B'ank.  Some are more antiseptic than others.
Personally, I like to put a pipe back up clean.  I'll always spit-clean the pipe rim with a paper napkin from the heap of boosted fast-food restaurant collection napkins; a swipe or two with a bristle and/or a fluffy pipe cleaner and a bent pipecleaner swipe of the bowl to remove and remaining tobacco chunks, unburned leaf (if any) and loose ash.  The, last but not least, a hard puff to blow out remaining ashy powder.  I rarely put a pipe away without a modest cleaning.
Others say...  ?
