[QUOTE="thomas james, post: 1627, member: 4"] I have eight Dunhill grp 5/6 straight billiards. They do have a small gap between the tenon and mortise but so do my other pipes. My theory is that it is intentional to compensate for the different expansion rate of two dissimilar materials. My D'hills are excellent smokers; sweet and dry. No gurgles. Once a month I remove the stems on all pipes and clean that "area" out. Stems are not removed at any other times. My other "high" grades smoke just as well; as do a couple mid grades and a couple dirt cheap low grades. I DO like D'hill stem material much better than any other brand because of its high vulcanite content. Bottom line,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,any properly cured briar that is drilled right should give a good smoke. This would include Petes, Savs and Stanwells. Pay more and you get more "pretty." Not more "better." It's about technique and the tobacco. tj [/QUOTE]
