I was browsing forums as I do every morning and I stumbled upon this sentence in a closed thread.
1) What is a wrong button? Of course, I am not talking about a button being unbalanced or having visible defects. I am asking if there are any standards regarding the buttons and how does that affect the pipe smoking and clenching.
2) Are there any other standards, proportions, ratios, etc? For example, a ratio of mortise to tenon or mortise to shank or stem to shank, etc.
FYI, I am not a pipe collector and I have only few pipes (which I smoke regularly). Some smoke fine, some don't, overall I am doing good (taking into consideration that I am mostly into pipe tobacco than pipes itself). I just would like to know more about pipes.
The sentence was made by our lovely, dark humor master georged. I have been here for almost 2 years and there have been probably hundreds of threads about different pipe brands, pipemakers, etc. and sometimes similar questions had been asked. Here are my questions:
