Hello fellers! My very first has started to clog. I decided to smoke a bowl and after a little while something clogged it. I had to leave it cool and poke it with the Czech tool through the shank to remove some debris and it felt softish kind of like wet wood. Anyone ever experienced the same? Can the pipe be saved? Is it something seriously at all?

Was this a .... mmmmmmm.... The Great Carnac says... is it a Peterson?
If not, it is probably tobacco that you've sucked down the draft.

Clean the shank with a bristle pipe cleaner and alcohol, then run a drill bit that matches the bore through. Finally give it a thorough clean with pipe cleaners and alcohol. Clean the mortice with ear buds and alcohol while you're at it. Let it rest and it'll be as good as new.
Bust out the air compressor and give it a good 150psi blast. That'll do ?
Take off stem and run hot water through it. Then a bristled pipe cleaner or q tip . See what happens. Don’t be afraid to scrub that sucker out.
One thing I learned rather quickly when I first picked up the pipe was to run a pipe cleaner through the draught hole after every bowl.
You probably sucked a bit of baccy into the hole.
Just run a pipe cleaner through.
If your pipe does not take a pipe cleaner through to the chamber, if it's not an army mount, wait until your pipe has cooled before removing the stem.

I had a new MM Freehand that had something blocking the draw. THe air compressor did the trick.
Sounds like you cleared the blockage with the poker on your pipe tool. I'd follow up with a pipe cleaner from button to bowl, then a soft blow of air through the stem. Should be good to go.
Why would a peterson get soggy? CuriousWas this a .... mmmmmmm.... The Great Carnac says... is it a Peterson?

For a while, many were posting that the stummel side of the stem of their new Petes had uncut pieces of briar obstructing the draft.
