[QUOTE="Behike54, post: 194688, member: 2177"] You know, hindsight is 20/20. I loaded my Nording with Blackpoint yesterday and after using the 3 pinch method (gravity load, 2nd pinch w/slight pack, and 3rd pinch with slightly harder pack) my fricking pipe was plugged! I didn't have a pipe cleaner on me and I tried to poke around, but no joy. And then the fun started. Hard to light and keep lit, seemed to always be fighting/fiddling with it, and to make matters worse (and I hate this), I heard the beginning of gurgle. I am not a slobbery "wet" smoker and am disciplined about sipping....but then I hear it. It's like the pipe is saying, "you dork newbie, what is you G-D hurry, anyway?! I have heard people loading their pipes with a cleaner inserted. Are there any other ideas? What if I don't have any and when you get your pipe tool in there, you inadvertently push something up the hole even deeper (that didn't sound exactly right, but you know what I mean)? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
