Just bought a Peterson 301 pipe and the draught hole seem to enter the tobacco chamber a bit up instead of at the bottom.
As read from an old pipemaker ' It's physically impossible to smoke below the draught hole of a pipe ' hence my pondering.
To clarify what I mean, the tobacco chamber is drilled in the shape of an acorn.
In my Vauen - Olaf pipe the draught hole enters the chamber more or less in the 'tip' of the acorn.
However in the Peterson pipe it enters approx 3-4mm from the bottom and slightly of center!?
Is this the way it should be on their pipes of that model or is something off with the one I got?
Anyone here who has got a Peterson 301 that could verify?
Thanks in advance!
