jp,
I also have plenty of bents with most of mine being 1/8 to 1/4. I only have a few full bents and I made damn sure they could all pass a fluffy pipe cleaner with ease. I don't own one pipe in my collection that doesn't pass a fluffy pipe cleaner. To me that is a total deal killer.Same. With lots of bents among these (maybe 1/3 of my pile have a bend, sometimes only the stem.)
