No matter how i pack my pipe sooner or later I get a shred of tobacco that sneaks its way into the stem and sours the smoke. I have tried various methods to avoid this. Sometimes I pack the beginning of the packing down sometimes I try not to do so. Sometimes I find that the draft hole particularly on New Pipes is too large and with repetitive smoking it gets smaller. I think that has a lot to do with the shreds sneaking into the stem. Running a rough pipe cleaner doesn't always catch the shred. I have tried the "Frank" method as well but that doesn't seem to correct the problem. I would like your thoughts collectively on this.
