Happily puffing away on a NOS Tanganyika here - loving everything about it, except the draught hole is a smidgen high. Is there a way to raise the bottom outside of scraping some material off a beater and somehow pressing it in there - or should I forget and enjoy? Not really bothersome, but if possible, I would like to perfect it. More curious than anything really...

FYI - that's paper in the bowl and it's block. Not lined...

I wouldn't worry about it. Just enjoy it. I don't think I own a full bent where the hole emerges at the base of the bowl. They still smoke well.

Thanks all - it does smoke very well as is... just a few more lights to get the 'fine white ash' that's imperative to achieve.

Repeat after me: Dottle is good. Dottle is good. Now enjoy your pipe.
