It could be the drilling in the stem or user error. Just keep using a pipe cleaner with that one.. no biggie.

Does it gurgle with every blend? My old fav shop pipe (WDC Bulldog) never gave any indication of a gurgle until recently when I put this Stanwell Jubilee in it. I have a bent Dublin Barontini that also gurgles with the Jubilee. Maybe it’s the Blend?

Is it a pipe that has a filter or no filter? Pull the stem out of the pipe and look at the face of the tenon (the part of the stem that slips into the pipe) if it's flat on the face at the air hole, taper (chamfer) it. Easiest to accomplish with a countersink bit for a drill.

In other words make the air hole in the stem look like this

No problem. Hope it helps. If not the pipe may just be one of those wet smokers. You can also try to smoke some tobacco that's crazy dry in it to start breaking in / building cake.mrpipster wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 7:05 pmAhh. I will take a look at doing that.
