[QUOTE="DGErwin11, post: 404189, member: 2477"] According to WV Smoke Shop, KW will be discontinuing stingers in favor of a push stem. Personally, I think this is great. I currently own 2 KW's, a Saxon and a POY from another forum. Both have push stems and both deliver superb smokes. My Dad, before he quit smoking, only smoked KW's with the stinger. So it was natural that is what he would choose when he would get me a pipe for Christmas and birthdays. I never could cotton up to them. Maybe because of my unrefined techniques. Back in the 70's we did not have access to as much knowledge. Some have said it is due to the cost of producing the stingers. Many, like me, think it is because more and more pipe smokers are rejecting stingers. They have introduced a new line or two recently with push tenons. I wonder if these might have met widespread acceptance and guided their decision? Or maybe a combination of both. [/QUOTE]
