Three pipes from two online shops, delivered on the same day! The top is an Irish Seconds pipe, the middle is one of the new Rattray's Ahoy pipes, and the bottom is a Barling Marylebone Fossil. Looking forward to breaking them in

Wow, some real beauties there! I personally like the Irish Seconds best!
Yeah, that one will be used a lot I think. It is drilled high so I might put some pipe mud in it, but we will see. It has perfect size and weight for a work pipe, and the army mount will be really handy
Some carvers, notably the Danish, did that intentionally to create a moisture well below the draft hole to avoid potential gurgling.
Well, I learned something new!
and fun fact if you use gravity fills or the three step method or a couple other packing techniques that bottom area is only going to be a few ribbons of tobacco anyways the same ribbons that probably wouldn't burn down to a fine grey ash anyways no matter where the draft hole is.
I know cause it took me a few months to notice how high the draft hole is on one of my pipes, I get the same results with it as the lower draft holed.
