I acquired a beautiful pipe set and stand the other day, but the gurgle horribly. I'll probably just use as a display piece.

Dry your bubble-bacco...that might help reduce the gurgling.

Just run a pipe cleaner through, halfway. Relight and puff away.
Beautiful rustication on that one!

Isn't the gurgling part of the enticement of a bubble pipe?
Actually, the whole setup is damned cute! I'd have it on my desk. A bit of whimsy is good for the soul or, sole if you are a fan of fish.

You don't leave the pipe cleaners in the stem while you bubble? smoke?
