So I got a Peterson 303 rustic a few weeks ago and really like it. I want to get another one in the smooth finish from their premier line. While reading up on them a bit more, it seems that a lot of folks are of the opinion that military mounts make it near impossible to break the stem and also that it lets you remove the stem from the shanks at any time whether hot or not. So can I or can I not remove the stem while smoking it? I ask because the pipe does tend to gurgle with moister blends and it would be nice if I could just swab the system chamber with a cleaner mid-smoke, especially since it's near impossible to get a cleaner through the full bent stem. ::
