Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size
Nice. With regards to the stem, I’ve read on a different thread that beveling/funneling the end of the tenon (if it is flat) improves airflow into the stem. I’m curious if anyone has experience with that type of mod.- emac.917

Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size
I just read Newcombe’s In Search of Pipe Dreams, and now I’m tempted to have one of my pipes modified just to experience the difference in draw.

Hello from Manila!
I started smoking pipes in January 2024, and I’m all-in. The craftsmanship, culture, and history of pipe smoking really struck a chord in me. The history of the pipe industry and all the historical figures who were avid pipe smokers is intriguing. And then, there is learning about the craft of...- emac.917
