How about some piper 101

[Emperor Zurg]

I've found with my briars that when I hear or feel a gurgelling, if I use the tamper to tighten
the bowl, push down a touch more firmly, that the tobacco soaks up the moisture and that annoying sound
stops.

Not the best idea IMO. I put my thumb over the bowl and shake that moisture out the stem. You can also slip a pipe cleaner down the stem to soak it up, but get rid of it. The last thing you want it to do is soak the tobacco at the bottom of the bowl. That makes your pipe go out constantly and bite toward the end of the smoke. Plus you'll never smoke to the bottom with the resultant swampy mess in there.

Haven't had an issue, In fact other a relight after charring the top,I haven't had any problem smoking to the bottom other than time and work.
