A Pipe That Gurgled a Lot and a Pipe That Doesn't - Imbuia X Briar

mrmachado · Oct 22, 2018

Below there is an image comparing the pipes. I asked many questions as to why my pipe was gurgling here and got many answers. But few mentioned the pipe itself. So the answer is there: the pipe.
My first pipe (the long imbuia Bazzanelli below) gets hot very easily and gurgles a lot. The second pipe (the short briar [duh] Savinelli) practically doesn't gurgle and its temperature doesn't get too hot. And I still smoke very intensely.
What I'm saying is that, from my experience, low quality pipes can gurgle a lot and that change of wood and quality made the difference for me.

*Edit.: without filters.

Migth also have something to do with the Churchwarden. The longer stem can make it harder to keep it cool and by extend this also produces more vapor and in the end liquid that causes gurgleing.

None of my churchwardens gurgle.
I dry my tobacco until it's nearly bone dry. I get better flavor and no gurgling.
Briar will only take you so far. It's 25% equipment and 75% technique.

I'm a beginner so I don't know if it being a churchwarden affected it, but the wood did (by logic).
Imbuia sucks.
Oh, and the pipe mustn't have been so well constructed.

@sablebrush52 I've been drying my tobacco in the oven and it's been the best thing I've made.
But even with dry tobacco, the long pipe was gurgling.

My first pipe was also a 'budget' churchwarden and it's the only one I recall hearing gurgling sounds from. Need to get me a Savinelli 'warden!

Poor airway construction can contribute to gurgling. Plenty of briar pipes gurgle.

I’ve only had a pipe gurgle once , that was my own fault though didn’t dry the tobacco enough.

Maybe.
I don't think coming to conclusion by experiencing one pipe is quite definitive.
There's your excuse to justify some PAD
My work here is done

This. The way the pipe is drilled is a big cause of gurgling. Of course the material the pipe is made from does matter too. Now get a corn cob pipe, as many of us advised in your previous thread as I recall, and try to make it gurgle : puffy

from my experience

Which is two pipes. Two. Yes, I'll concede that briar is superior to whatever you had, but we tried to give you an honest assessment of the many variables. But feel free to oversimplify and let the rest of the advice fall on deaf ears. So long as you dump tons of money into "quality" pipes, I don't care. It keeps the business rolling.
