[QUOTE="skaukatt, post: 38088, member: 67"] So, now we've taken the original discussion of taking apart a pipe or not and [i]modified[/i] it into a discussion on, To Modify or Not To Modify - which also can go on ad infinitum. Let's take Rick Newcombe, for eample. I highly respect and regard him, have read his book and met him in person a few times, and while I can see the value that is placed on widening the draft hole, as he likes, for me, I would not do it. That's just my position on the subject. While I have come across a few pipes in my 175 + collection that have less than optional draft holes, it does not bother me to the extent that I would take measures to widen them. Mr. Newcombe, as stated in his book, does this regularly on purchase of a new pipe. But, that's him. That's what is so fantastic about our hobby. We all have different likes, dislikes, approaches, styles, methods, etc... that all work for us. They fall on both sides of the spectrum of aggressive and non aggressive and everywhere in between. Everybody falls within it somewhere and they are neither right or wrong. Now, let's get back to the original premise of taking apart a pipe for cleaning or not. Lou, NY [/QUOTE]
