I'm beginning to think the problem is cheap glue. I don't know, but would not be surprised to find that the pipes made in the UK are using old fashion horse glue. Why? Because the motto of the British empire is "We do it this way because we've always done it this way."
Could be! Ideally, they shouldn't have to rely on glue.I'm beginning to think the problem is cheap glue.

Isn’t the dry system the Savinelli equivalent? I think that one is coupled with the balsa filter. Probably still a bit of a gimmick, although I’m intrigued by the Peterson system as a fan.It's really very simple.... If you do get sludge in the well it's because your tobacco is way too wet. Dry it out some and problem solved so no need for the well. The so called "dry system" is just a gimmick to sell pipes.
Yes, it is the Savinelli answer to the Peterson System. The newer ones are 9mm, so they take either the balsa or charcoal filters. Or, you can smoke it without and let the moisture pool in well. There are obvious differences, as the Peterson stems are meant to reduce suction and I've never heard Savinelli claim that for their own. I will say that the Sav p-lip is more comfortable to me (for what that's worth)
Yes. Designed when folks couldn't get on the 'Net and learn to dry the tobacco so that doesn't happen.
Gross. No, one shouldn't drool down the stem.
Most is result of moist tobacco, too fast burning, or smoking in high humidity.
