Question - - if the airway into the tenon is drilled open is that not weakening the connection of the stem to shank - even a minimal expansion of the hole reduces the wall of the tenon that is inserted into the shank - sounds like a weakening result.
OFF TOPIC A BIT but ... turkish meerschaums are always narrow on the draw with narrow tenons but i dont wish to open them by drilling the tenon thereby weakening the connection. they now use more open tenons but still less open than my other pipes in particular my old 1960's dunhill - the best open pipe i have.- 5/32" - wish i had more.
