Comoy's Still Good?

[spartan99]

Thanks for everyone's kind words regarding my initial post. jpmcwjr requested photos of the best and worst beveling. I'll post them below. I had a hard drive failure right before Thanksgiving or I would have gotten to this sooner.
Uneven beveling. Comoy's Tradition 182:

Uneven beveling. Comoy's PotY 2016:

Even beveling. Comoy's Tradition 182:

Bevel Bros. The two Tradition billiards side by side:

These are mediocre phone camera photos, so I'm not sure how well the difference will come through at the resolution the forum uses. Their uneven beveling is something I've noticed, but I do have seven of their pipes, so it's obviously not a dealbreaker for me.
Another observation:
Some members are sensitive to pipes that have stain on the inside of the shank. The Traditions have stain on the inside of the shank. I was able to remove it all with three to four alcohol-dipped pipe cleaners. The PotY has no stain on the inside of the shank. Also unlike the Traditions, it does not have a pre-carbonized bowl.

I just got my brand new Comoys Tradition Canadian from smokingpipes,no complaints whatsoever, the drilling,draw and bowl beveling all are just exemplary and more open than I had it in my very similar Chacom Canadian,(eventually sold that Chacom for a half price, but yes it was gorgeous looking pipe with high glossy finish and huge bowl capasity-which is not my thing,to be honest)

Ps. Gotta get rid of that bowl pre-carbonation though,
