Any removal of briar makes a pipe more susceptible to burn out as there is now less briar. I imagine flawed briar is a greater culprit than over reaming. That said, I've only heard of one instance where a well used Kaywoodie burned out after many years of heavy use. The same Kaywoodie was bought used on the cheap as a knock around pipe. The smoker quite enjoyed it and was honored to preside over its retirement.Milan":euov32mw said:Will a pipe that has been over reamed be more susceptible to burnout? Are there any other things to consider before purchasing a pipe that has been slightly over reamed?
Thanks,

The only problem with pictures is that it's an eBay auction and if I throw it up here now then I may create my own competition. I'll throw up a picture after the auction ends regardless of whether I win it or not. Just for discussion sake.UberHuberMan":3061e6qq said:Hey Milan,
