Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size
Came across an interesting tool on rebornpipes while geeking out on airway mods. Photo below. Has anyone used this type of reamer to funnel a tenon before? Also, does anyone know if there is an appreciable difference in airflow performance between funneling and chamfering the tenon?- emac.917

The 320 has ivorite on the shank, right? Very handsome Had to look up the difference and saw one example that @alaskanpiper posted in a different thread. Do all 320s come with the screw in tenon? -

Smoking Habits
This past month, I've been smoking three times a day on average, but it's slowly increasing. I'm new to smoking pipes. Only been doing it since January, so I'm still trying to find my natural frequency. Right now, it's all so new and exciting to recognize the difference between blends and how...- emac.917

Bill Bailey’s Balkan Blend in my Bruken 1006 Rustic. First smoke of the day. Technically it’s September where I am, so this is in the wrong thread. Hope y’all have a blessed Sunday!- emac.917

Wow, 1913! Doesn’t look a day over 1980 😉 I aspire to own a 111 year old pipe in such fine shape. Though, I may be intimidated to smoke a piece that’s survived through so much history. -

Ah, interesting, so they just take a round bowl and squeeze it down into an oval. Makes sense if the goal is to reduce printing when put into a pocket. Your middle pipe is particularly good looking. Is that a Barling? I can’t make out the stamping. Need to note it in my rapidly expanding PAD list. -

Yeah. People smoke outside bars, but only in the nightlife areas like Poblacion. Otherwise, they’ve relegated smoking to small outdoor areas behind buildings or on rooftops. I think they are pretty strict about it as I generally don’t see people smoking in public. I thought about trying my luck... -

Regarding the smoking qualities of the oval shaped opera bowls, it seems the larger surface area could be ideal for smoking specific blends. Does anyone have experience or an opinion on this? I'm attracted to the shape and the idea that they were made to fit into pockets more easily. Recently... -
Strange Pipe with No Name.
Looks kind of like a Prince of Wales (Savinelli?) that I came across on eBay recently... https://www.ebay.com/itm/315191303460?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rhbmoadcqoe&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=qCJoIOIOQsi&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY -
Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size
I was just cleaning my Stanwell 190, and I noticed that the tenon already had a (slight) chamfer. I bought it new, so I suppose they do it at the factory. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why this pipe has a nice smooth draw and has organically become my top smoker. Very cool to learn these...- emac.917

What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?
Loewe & Co. prince with a silver band I’m still a newb, but this shape and the brand’s history with it have me drooling. A vintage Dunhill prince would be a nice second place. Borrowed the image below from a rebornpipes article about it. It haunts me in my dreams. One day perhaps. Hahaha- emac.917

Fellow Portuguese: Where do you Get Pipe Tobacco?
I visited Lisbon in July and while not having many options, I was able to pick up a few pouches at both Casa Havaneza and Tabacaria Mónaco. Tabacaria Mónaco was a beautiful little shop with a long history. I even came across a poem written about it in the late 19th century by Fernando Caldeira...- emac.917
