Not to brag but I currently own about 150 pipes mostly Petes and some artesian and all of them have produced a gurgle at some point.
If your tobacco is too moist or you just happen to produce a lot of saliva then that just about sums it up.
That is impressive! (The Petes, not the gurgling).
Might you and a few others in this thread consider:
Putting your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why:
That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc.
In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts. It
cuts down on posts or PMs asking where you are.
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "
Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "
My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.
