Hey everyone.
New pipe smoker with another question. First few bowls I had were pretty darn flavorful and caused me to almost entirely stop smoking the cigars. But, for some reason, everytime is hit or miss. I almost always have black, not properly burned, tarry ash around the bowl that doesn't go down even with light tamping. Seems to be stuck on unless I scrape it a bit. About half way through even if I tamp lightly or haven't tamped draw becomes obstructed and always around half way even smoking slow, it gurgles. Am I messing up real bad or is there an issue with my Peterson Aran 80s and the way it smokes?
