Good question! I suspect they have a narrow airway which may or may not be a big deal here. Hopefully someone will chime in. I was about to post a thread asking after the price of these pipes. Every time I go to check the page the pipes are all sold before I can even load sp!
I was lucky that a friend grabbed on for me! When I still was considering which one to buy they all were sold! Now the wait begins. It´s a Lovat with a yellow horn stem. I am looking forward to smoking this "time capsule". :D
I snagged one of these, a lovat. They are definitely old stock. The wood is quite nice with no apparent fills but the draw is of the slightly restricted old school variety and it whistles a bit. Bowl drilling is accurate enough but the shank counterbore is an inch and a half deep while the metal tenon (a straight cylinder not a stinger) is only about a half inch long. The stem is an attractive dark brindled color however the button is very small thus requiring, for me, a piece of silicone tubing to make it usable. I gave it a precautionary interior cleaning and I'll smoke it tomorrow.
I saw these when they were first posted and thought of getting a couple but I did not pull the trigger. Appears my decision was a good one as I don't want a pipe with a restricted air flow, by design or not.
[/b]WOOHOO!!! Just managed to snap up one of these little beauties!
I was browsing here on the forum when I noticed in the left hand column that Smokingpipes had 94 Fresh Bruyere St Claude pipes. I rushed to there site in a frenzy, yes a frenzy, only to find one left. Log in, whip out the MC, add to cart and check out all in record time! BOOM...got one. It's a sweet little Bruyere St Claude : Extra Acorn. A very slender, somewhat dainty looking pipe described as an acorn/pear shape. I am so excited that I was able to get one of these pipes! I'll be sure to post up a couple pics when it arrives. :D

I logged on this morning and once again they had put 72 more of these up for sale last night. But this time there were 8 left. I took a quick survey and decided to buy 2. They are both 5.5" billiards and they are very light. The first one only weighs 14 grams.
and the second one weighs 28 grams.
They have small chambers 0.69 x 1.13
I am looking forward to giving them a try when they arrive.
