So, I have this new pipe. The pipe cleaner does pass through the stem and shank. I can see it pass all the way to the bottom of the bowl, but It doesn't angle out of the pipe like on all my others. It's almost like the pipe cleaner gets stuck in a minuscule nook and won't angle out...
I did a lot of research, I spoke with smoking pipes three times and I spent a lot of money on this pipe because I truly wanted a good meerschaum.
I am wary of this drilling. I am afraid this is a possible gurgler or that the hole could get plugged... I can pass a pipe cleaner through and out of every pipe I have. As I said, with this pipe I can only get it to slide 180 degrees... it won't push out of the bowl.
It's a Bekler AKB.
Did I provide enough info? Should this be a concern for a Meerschaum?
