[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 457930, member: 3"] I think you nailed it. Not being able to pass a cleaner, and even the gurgling itself, is a symptom, not the problem. The problem is a poorly executed airway. Some pipes are inclined to poor airways because of severe bends, but still some makers are able to execute a very good airway in these challenging shapes so I'm inclined to believe that the ones that do show symptoms suffer from a lack of concern to get it right. I find just as much trouble with constricted bends in the stem and a narrowing airway in the stem as I do an issue in the tenon area. [/QUOTE]
