[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 307643, member: 2318"] "Over reaming" is kinda common, but isn't necessarily a deal breaker. I think Smoking Pipes has a comment on its site saying unsmoked returns are ok. P.S. -- This is an example that there is such a thing as "over reaming." In most cases there is no need to make the reamer a frequent visitor to your briars. Aftre 50 years of piping, I have never owned a reamer and find that artful chipping with a pipe tool and very light sanding does the trick. Problem is, I think, if you buy a reamer and learn how to use it, you will want to keep in practice. Others' opinions may vary. [/QUOTE]
