[QUOTE="mikesan, post: 420216, member: 3819"] This may be very old news to some, but thought I would post it anyhow. Early on in my pipe smoking I acquired a couple of Kaywoodie pipes. I never really liked the way they smoked and mentioned this to my local tobacconist. He recommended that I have them modified by his pipe repair person. The modification involved removing all of the metal hardware from the bit and shank, attaching a delrin tennon and boring out the shank to receive the new tenon. I tried it first on one pipe and liked the results so well that I modified all of my Kaywoodies. It completely eliminates condensation in the shank and bit and the pipes smoked much better overall. They are now among my favorite small pipes, the oldest of which dates back to 1949. I would recommend this to anyone whose Kaywoodie smokes wet. It also eliminates the problem of feeding a pipe-cleaner all the way. [/QUOTE]
