I'm not sure if one of these has been started yet, I'm liking my recent purchase very much. So let's see your H.S Studio singular or collection if you are that much a fan.

Where are the draft holes on this pipe? I'm having a hard time imagining where they are.

I do my best not to buy anything from China that I can't get elsewhere.
BROBS already illustrated this, but, I thought I'd share this anyway just to more clearly illustrate where I suspect the drilling might be occurring based on where the stem is and having the draft hole pass through the center of the piece above the hole in the side of the pipe.
I'd prefer not to send my money to the Chinese. They have tons of the stuff anyway,
I posted this already in one of the "***What Are You Smoking?***" threads. It's an HS Studio Rhodesian that was inexpensive and interesting. The chamber is kind of small (I prefer something more akin to a 320 KS), but, I'm glad I got it. I'd like to get one of their Ukulele shapes and not pay multi-hundreds (or thousands) of $$$ for an artisan version.

That could be classified as a weapon.
Or fitted with a longer stem and used as a golf club
Have you smoked it ?
I don't have enough tobacco to fill it! ? Truth be told, it's too big for me so no, not yet. Maybe one day.
That's a Duane (@Chasing Embers) 's Special. ?
I'd imagine it would be a bit heavier than those humongous meers of his.
How much does it weigh ?
It looks well made.
Your drawing line is correct, it runs through the top bit, and is only slightly of centre. It does actually pass a pipe cleaner with a bit of effort.
It's actually a relatively svelte 64g. It has no fills as far as I can tell and passes a pipe cleaner without a problem, which is not a surprise as it's no more than a 1/8 bent. But it does have one weird flaw: there is a step where the shank (which includes and ends with the horn ornament) and the stem meet. The stem is uniformly larger than the shank all around the circumference. It's very slight and I can't see it, but I can feel it when I run my finger nail over the junction. It's a fun piece to own.
