Again, if this has been covered as a recent topic, please strike it out.
My comment is not quite what it seems. Like many others I have metaphorically drooled over a coveted pipe, but this is more serious.
Although I have smoked a pipe heavily for more than 12 years I still drool if I clench for any length of time. By that I mean about a minute. Then the slobber starts to wet the pipe stem and drip down my chin! It is particularly a problem when I am preparing the tobacco for my next bowl, and we have already discussed the prep time for plugs.
As a result I have a cloth to wipe down my chin and another for the pipe, and I am now a pretty good one-hand typist!
Am I alone? Is anyone else afflicted by this embarrassing condition? I want to be one of those cool guys who can walk the streets with a continuous one-hour clench! Is there a remedy??

It just helps to have an extra pipe cleaner or two handy and a shirt sleeve.
