I bought a NOS GBD Shoreline pot about 3 years ago. Lovely big pipe, 6¼inch long, black sandblasted, with the brass oval on the stem. Beautiful pipe but a bad smoker. It gurgled and well, it just wasn't a good smoker. It was sitting in my rack, just taking up space. I hardly ever smoked it and it was still like new.
So today I decided to do something about it. The airhole through the shank was a shade over 3mm. I like an open draw, so I opened it up to 4mm. My idea was that, if the pipe was spoiled, I will just give it to someone or put it in the wastebin. No big loss.
And now I have a brand new, excellent smoker :cheers: :bounce: :cheers: This is now the 4th pipe I've altered in such a way, everytime with positive results.
I'm a happy chappie :lol!:
