[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 458056, member: 2318"] Hmmm. I've noticed when I'm nearing the end of a bowl and do a light tamp and cleaner, the cleaner comes out of the stem damp for maybe the leading inch or so, and wet and discolored only at the very tip. Also, FWIW, the condensation seems to appear at the end of the smoke, not evenly distributed throughout. My remedy for pipes that have been wet is to avoid disassembly. Instead, I give a vigorous blow through the stem and sop up the wet at the bottom of the bowl with a bent cleaner or bit of tissue. P.S. Sometimes the obstacle is the cleaner. Why is it that one cleaner will pass from bit to bottom with no problem, but another stops short? Frustrating, it is. [/QUOTE]
