[QUOTE="Idlefellow, post: 462306, member: 598"] Agreed, except for me that covers every pipe I own. I'm not a collector and any of my pipes is more likely to be banging around in a bird cover or in a bass boat than it is to be in a rack beside an easy chair, ergo I don't operate in the $250 pipe market. Besides, some of my best smokers over the years have had a fill or two. Back in my freehand days I had (and still have, somewhere) a nice little pipe with an almost perfect straight grain, BUT it had a couple of small fills. They bugged the hell out of me, and one day on a whim I chucked a rotary rasp into my drill and took it to the pipe. I produced a passible "rusticated" finish and the fills are now invisible, but I never felt the same about the pipe afterward. I've been sorry ever since, so while I would certainly try to avoid fills in any buy I'd buy, if I like the pipe and the fills aren't too obtrusive, I'll live with them. [/QUOTE]
