+1 to the Drillspot 20/40 grit corncob media. I had exactly the same problem with green Lyman cob media getting stuck in my flash holes. I had used a bent paperclip to poke it out and it took forever. After searching for a solution I found out about the 20/40 grit media and bought a bag -- 40 LBS shipped to my door was about $27. (one heck of a lot cheaper than the Lyman stuff at the gun shop) I spent another $8 on a bottle of Dillon rapid polish and I've had beautiful brass and no clogged flash holes since. Best $35 I ever spent -- and I'll probably never have to buy polishing media again, as a 40 lb bag will last me a long, long, long time.

Here's a link to the media I bought. It looks like the price went up a few bucks since I bought mine, it's now $33.
