I have a hand held drill bit that I purchased from smoking pipes, just turned it by hand. It takes a little time, have to be gentle but firm. This was my first time using this and it worked for me. I’m not a pro, you might want to get other advise on the procedure from more experienced pipe technicians. View attachment 208496
Interesting, thanks. I have some older pipes that I want to try and widen the airways. Will give it a try.

Duplexing tonight with a small ball of delicious Hamborger Veermaster in the bottom of the bowl and delectable Awakened Elder filling up the rest of the Full Pete. With a book, water, and a personal concoction of Jenever with Whidbeys Liqueur to accompany. This will definitely finish the evening.

p.s. Whidbeys, from Whidbey Island, is reached either by ferry, or crossing the dramatic bridge across Deception Pass.

I have both the 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm versions of this tool. Sometimes I just use it to scrape gunk out of estate draught holes.

Spent half of the afternoon jarring up bulk blends that I bought during recent ISPD sales. Smoking a Cohiba Nicaragua for a change.
