Any that don't use screw in tenon and mortise inserts. Altinay, IMP, SRV, Baki. I'm a bit partial to IMP.Title says it all - which meer brand has the most open draw?
That’s and interesting idea. Is there any downside?Get one drilled for a 9mm filter & leave it out.
Yes, the draws too open.That’s and interesting idea. Is there any downside?
So I need a Savinelli step down adapter to 6mm ?Yes, the draws too open.
Thanks. Thought I saw a 9 to 6 somewhere. Maybe I imagined it.The step down goes from the open 6mm to 3mm. There's also a 9mm to 3mm. 9mms smoke fine without an adapter or filter though.

I thought they existed, too. But I don’t do filters, and smoke my filtered pipes with nothing in the stem, so... ?Thanks. Thought I saw a 9 to 6 somewhere. Maybe I imagined it.
It was in 2015 when IMP temporarily went out of business and their lead carver formed WGN Meerschaum. Most of the one's at SPC during that sale were $135.Thanks! I have 1 IMP that I love, and now that I’m looking again, I must have gotten an amazing deal from a sale at SP a few years back. I want to say it was 1/3-1/2 of what new ones are going for now. Wow.
Thanks. You’re right! I looked it up and mine was $120. ?It was in 2015 when IMP temporarily went out of business and their lead carver formed WGN Meerschaum. Most of the one's at SPC during that sale were $135.

[b]I.M.P. Meerschaum recently went out of business according to an email that I received from SPC a few days ago. SPC proceeded to have a sale on the remaining few meerschaum pipes that they received from them, and never being one to pass on a good deal, I decided to grab one for myself. It...pipesmagazine.com
They were literally getting in hundreds of pipes per day for two weeks when that happened. A friend of mine got a churchwarden with a silver band for $120 as well.?Thanks. You’re right! I looked it up and mine was $120. ?
Now double that barely gets you in. Mine is a canted cherry wood with silver. Love it.They were literally getting in hundreds of pipes per day for two weeks when that happened. A friend of mine got a churchwarden with a silver band for $120 as well.?
IMP has a 4 mm drill. Several others I've looked at are 3. IMP draws nice.
I don't but they're wide open. I'd guess 5 mm. Love the draw on Jack's pipes.Now double that barely gets you in. Mine is a canted cherry wood with silver. Love it.
Thanks Mark. Do you know off hand what Jack Howell drills his pipes to? My Acorn of his is super open and I love the draw.
Agreed.I don't but they're wide open. I'd guess 5 mm. Love the draw on Jack's pipes.
