[QUOTE="Deleted member 4028, post: 560211"] I am not doing it wrong, mate. Obviously, I worded it in a way that did not describe what I meant to say. Referring to the pipe cleaner was just to point out the necessity for everything to be internally aligned. After all, there was a time when pipe cleaners did not exist. The chemistry of the whole thing is regardless of the of the presence of a system or not, as soon as the airway passage between the shank and the tenon is not aligned (thus, the pipe cleaner factor for us modern smokers), extra moisture will accumulate because of the break. And this will, in many cases, create gurgling or other unfortunate happenings (pipe juice) during a smoke that a proper alignment will not cause. When one ends up with pipe juice and you can't pass a pipe cleaner (excluding army mounts, of course), then one has to wait for the pipe to cool down before removing the stem, addressing the issue and carrying on. When everything is internally aligned and the smoker does what he must (tobacco is not too moist, pipe is packed properly and the puffing cadence is relaxed), all is well. Now, how people consider this being an issue -or not- is something personal. I hope what I'm trying to explain is more intelligible. [/QUOTE]
