Welcome!

Three things to try to help your problem:

1. Let the portion of tobacco dry out a little before you fill the pipe.
2. Pack the pipe more lightly.
3. Smoke more slowly, and with gentler puffs.

I hope that helps.

Welcome! If your throat is sore, you may be inhaling into your lungs. That's a personal decision, but many pipesmokers don't do it - the pH of the smoke is such that it tends to be an irritant.
