Wettnes sound while smoking after a time

[wernerat]

So after some time there is always this "sound" that some humidity is im the bowl or stem. As I read I kill it with inserting carefully a pipe cleaner and get the liquid out.

What's the reason for that? Can I do something different or is this just a thing which does not harm the taste .

Try drying your tobacco more and packing more loosely. If you’re already packing very loosely try packing tighter. Sometimes a pipe cleaner is necessary to finish a smoke and it’s no problem. If your pipe is bent it is more likely to gurgle. Smoke as slowly as possible.

It's obvious that your pipe is not yet housebroken,,,

LeafErikson is correct to recommend drying your tobacco; aromatic tobaccos tend to me moist to begin with, and water is a natural byproduct of combustion, thus you get a double-whammy. Leaf is also spot-on about packing loosely and smoking slowly.

Good luck!

Are you drooling into the stem?

Very possible to be fair depending on the tabacco :D

Thanks for all the advices. Yeah had the problem with a bent. Mind reader and it was also an aro.

Had it also with early morning. Maybe not dried enough.
Thanks guys. Helps!

That crisp new flavour you should get off the charring note? Well, eventually when you slow down your cadence and dry your tobacco out right that is kind of the taste you can expect for the bowl, rather than just the char light.

If it is gurgling, for sure get a pipe cleaner in there to absorb moisture, that will solve it more or less. Long goal is to not let it get to a gurgle in the first place.

Gurgling happens when water vapour condenses.
Drying your tobacco well and packing loose will ameliorate the problem.
Sipping rather than Choo chooing

If the weather is very humid, it might still happen

I live in Sydney where high humidity is often a problem
I use meerschaum chips or Nording keystones if I don't have sufficient time to dry the tobacco well
Pipe cleaners are cheap.
Filters can also help

I had 2 bowls yesterday.
It was a warm, sunny day
Tobacco dried very well with just 5 mins in the sun.
Gravity filled the bowl and a light tap on the table after filling to settle the tobacco.
Both bowls lit with one match and neither bowl needed relighting.
Very light tamping during the smoke
Smoked to the bottom with no dottle.
Memorable because this seldom happens for me.

What the boys said I agree with.

 

[ADKPiper]

Gurgle!
Maybe drying. Maybe slowing down.
I've also found that running a pipe cleaner in mid bowl can work.

Bent pipes in the winter seem to condense the most water vapors, because of turbulence in the bent stem. But, water vapor is the biproduct of combustion. So, even dry tobacco can cause a gurgle if puffed too hard.

I lightly blow out through the pipe from time to time to alleviate that gurgling noise. Works for me.
