Open Draw Pipes

[samjax]

Just curious as to which brand of pipes that you have found to have the most "open" draw.
I know my Castellos (Kino) have a nice open draw. My Ferndown is quite a bit tighter. My S. Bangs are all open except for one, which is noticeably tighter. Several other Danish pipes are pretty tight. I recently purchased a new Dave Neeb from Dave, and the draw is very open (which I find preferable).
In any event, trying to find out the "draw" of a pipe, especially when buying online is difficult.
I've been looking at some Shaabi pipes, Taipen and a few others...but unsure if they are fairly open or on the tight side.
Which pipes have you found, as a general rule, to be drilled fairly open?

The Rinaldo, Il Ceppo, and Ardors that I own have wonderfully open draws. Radice and L'Anatra are on a par with respect to the draw too.
If you can inquire online about a particular pipe, ask if the stem will pass the thick end of a tapered bristle pipe cleaner. That usually equates to a nice, relaxed draw.

Two higher-end pipes I have are noticeably open, a Ferndown and a Ser Jacopo. My low and mid-price Petes are somewhat open. Most filter pipes are noticeably open when the filter is removed, although a filter adaptor will close them very slighty. Non-filter MM cobs seem quite open to me. The only pipe I have that is a bit tight is a Ropp, but it is still a good smoker.

When I'm comparing my Peterson pipes to my Stanwells,It seems that Stanwells(Italian made) have more open draw.

Pulled the filter out of my Savinelli and left out the spacer, nice open draw on it.

My Caminettos all have pretty daggone good draws. I finally got around to smoking my new Preben Holm today on a trip down to Charleston for shrimp & grits. I don't know if it's indicative of PH bowls generally**, but it had an aMAZingly easy draw, drilled at bottom dead center. I got a good hour & 20 minutes out of the bowl.
** -- OK, embers, go ahead. I know you, Jesse, mso, & Cos are just dying to say it; "Clearly you need to buy another two or three to test the theory!" :crazy:
