Sitting here enjoying a wee pipe. It is a Dunhill 107. I only know this because I have it written down.
I bought it as an estate and it smokes wonderfully. But the Piper before me was a buffer!! Apparently he liked to shave using the pipe as a mirror. Even the button has dang near been buffed away. I noticed as I was smoking it this morning I cannot read the nomenclature. It is a great smoker and I will never let it go.
But for buffers, my friends you want to polish and I understand, but when your removing wood and the bit to the point you cannot read the words and the bit is gone, your buffing too much!
To me that much buffing simply messes up any pipe. Mostly just an observation I came up with while smoking. Buffers are dangerous and be careful my fellow Piper's!!
