A big selling point for Kaywoodie during the thirties and forties was the Drinkless system.
Before the war, Kaywoodie used a large 4 hole ball stinger, like the one on this pre war Flame Grain #13.
Since all my Lee pipes have a similar system but with a removable stinger, I’m convinced the Kaywoodie system actually worked as intended, to cool the smoke stream, trap water, and catch some of the tars. When I remove a Lee stinger, I can taste the difference.
What I’m wondering is what tests Kaywoodie ran to determine just how well the system works.
They convinced Babe Ruth, and that’s saying something, right there, you know?
