[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 446449, member: 2318"] Draw is expressed subjectively (open, closed) or objectively (the drill used). Another way to communicate the idea is the fit of a pipe cleaner -- though this is a bit of a compromise and may have nothing to do with the larger question of whether the draw is / isn't satisfactory to a the pipe's owner. One of my pipes is a handsome Ehrlich Supreme bulldog. I bought it as an estate pipe and was immediately impressed by its taste-friendly "open" draw. Unfortunately, getting a cleaner through it was a struggle, which I at first blamed on some obstruction in the air passage. Trial and error showed me that the standard thickness Long's cleaner took very patient jiggering, but a skinny Falcon cleaner slipped through. I have a notion that pipes with a narrow draw can be IDed by a whistle when gently puffed while empty and cold, but I'd make no claims for the universality of this personal observation. [/QUOTE]
