[QUOTE="AJ, post: 497186, member: 2363"] Thanks Charl for taking time for your busy schedule to post your thoughts on the subjuct. The above statement that's quoted rings true for many I think. I have an old Jobey bulldog that you can hardly fit a slim Falcon pipe cleaner through the stem. When one looks into the shank airway it may remind them of the inside of a cave with stalactites and stalagmities. By that I mean the airway isn't a bit smooth. There's enough headspace between the end of the tenon and the face of the mortise that one would think might allow the pipe to gurgle like a stream filled with large stones. But for some unknown reason, or at least unknown to me, the pipe really performs very well. It never gurgles and it handles GH & Co. Lakelands very nicely even when a bit moist. I'm sure many of the Brothers have similar stories they could tell about pipes they own. Could this mean that personal preference is the most important element in making a pipe a great smoker? :) AJ [/QUOTE]
