Nearly all the pipes I've owned for a while have stems chattered with tooth marks. Nothing really deep, but I've never liked the way it looks. I've tried the softy bits, but they always felt bulky. Recently, I stopped clenching all together for a time in an effort to stop the chatter. Well, it turned out to be impractical for me to put the pipe down every time I need two hands. So I started again.
Now, I've noticed that my recently acquired pipes with clean stems are remaining clean! I think I've been more selective with the pipes I use when I may do more concentrating on what I'm doing rather than what I'm smoking. I've also tried to make sure my jaw stays relaxed while clenching.
Could it be? Have I learned the Art of the Labrador? The Soft Mouth
