[QUOTE="Slartibartfast, post: 318758, member: 1981"] I'de say keep it original. Be patient and work on your technique and building some good cake right down to the heel. Those Brighams are fine smokers in my experience (especially the older Canadian made ones with the aluminum tenon). FWIW I have stripped a few pipes bare, just for laughs, and while I don't think it hurt their smoking properties in any way, I couldn't say that it made any measurable improvement either. But I do like the way they look as well as the way they smoke. Also, the only real value of these pipes is what they mean to me, but I'm sure it'de ruin any "collectable" pipe in the eyes of the "colectors". Apologies for the photo quality - I'm crap at taking pics. Top to bottom they are: no-name bent pot, Stonehaven lovat, Edward's panel sitter. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/BeaRwHd.jpg?3[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
