   I'm kind of going the other direction than Oppie, but what makes a bad pipe...???

   I really hate to say Bad Pipe, but I have one right now that just sucks...

   It's my Ropp Supreme...

   I'm ready to go over to the shop, get the biggest drill bit and just ream the chamber... The walls taper so drasticly that it wont pack correctly...

   Phil, it is a handsome pipe though.

   I like how it feels and smokes, when I can get some smoke... It just needs to have a 1" Forstner bit run down the chamber... it's to restricted in the bottom and you can't get a good draw... I guess... I'm no pipe expert, but the wall design just sucks...

   I had a Stanwell "seconds" pipe. Smoked really bad. Horrible pipe. I was on the roof cleaning the gutters out last week and it fell out of my mouth on to the driveway and broke in a million pieces. I was actually happy I didn't have to deal with it anymore.

   Lawrence, I'll swap you straight across right now...

   Snicker snicker at you Oppie... I know how you feel... You don't need an excuse to get rid of it if it's broke.

   Drill baby drill .

   Pipes are like women, there ain't no bad pipes, just some's better that others.

   Opps, I take that back. I forgot about The Pipe.

   I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

   Brylon in and way shape or form!

   If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

    I agree with Art avoid Brylon at all cost. A very terrible material for a pipe to be made from. Atleast with any wood pipe you can make modification if needed. Drill her out Phil, it'll probablly make a world of difference.
