Too Full of a Draw

[dublinpiper90]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to calm a pipe down with too much of a draw? I’ve tried packing a little heavier but still the draw is still too full?
Suggestions?

Probably a larger draft hole. Some guys prefer it.

Easiest thing is to keep packing tighter until you get the draw you want. Might effect burn quality though.

Other option would be sending it somewhere to have the draft hole made smaller at a point using some kind of an insert. That said it's probably more trouble than it's worth.

As you said, pack tighter. I usually smoke filter pipes without the filter. Wide open. Just pack tighter. You’ll learn

I don't mean to aggravate but every time you said "to full" or "to much" you meant to use "too".

I drill out all my draft holes using a #17 bit or 11/64. The stem I use a #28 or 9/32 bit on tenon end only. Then I pack like usually do. The pack and style cut of tobacco would dictate the total draft after packing. I like a wide open draft hole and use the pack to regulate draw.

Does the pipe take a filter?

I prefer a wide open draw but I have no solution to your problem except "slow down". Wide open draws require virtually no negative pressure applied from you as you draw even pointing the bit into a breeze will fan the ember.
