six, if you are handy with a drill, you should try re drilling a couple of pipes and I know they will smoke drier. I have a Willmer that Zack re drilled for me and it smokes freaking great now.
ae1pt, I actually chose to live in Florida as it was a life long dream. When I moved here even my best pipes, Formers, Reiner Barbi, Kurt Balleby, Winslows and others all needed a pipe cleaner or two during a bowl. It never really bothered me like I said until that first Rad and I came to realize that I could buy pipes, smoke them in the humidity of a Florida summer and still never need a PC unless it was too dislodge a loose piece of tobacco. It was an epiphany that rocked my world and every pipe I have bought since that 5th day of August 2012, have been dry smokers.
pipebow88, I am glad to hear I am the cause of your obsessive compulsive behavior, makes my heart feel good to have another like me on the site.
I am a serial clencher as I always have my pipe on the right side of my mouth when smoking. I honestly don't feel that this type of smoking causes excess moisture.
In terms of drying my tobacco of all my flakes( 28) maybe 8-10 need much additional drying time. My 3 Samuel Gawith flakes need a couple of hours but the others usually dry up in half an hour at most. I find that a tad moist is better than a tad dry as I can slow my smoking to compensate for any excess moisture in comparison to having my flakes too dry and there by losing flavor big time.
I think as a pipe community we have the power to demand that every mfg guarantee their pipes will smoke dry as a bone or else they have to give you your money back. That should be the goal of pipe smokers the world over, smoke dry or face our wrath, so who is with me? :crazy:
