Hey, I'm back. Here's my new pipe:

Cheers!
I'm back
That's an interesting pipe Leonardo. Unique, but still conservative. I can't remember seeing one like it. I'd be interested in hearing how the 3.5mm air way drilled all the way through works out. I understand some smokers who try this greatly prefer it.

IMHO, a bad pipe can improve with this operation, but it doesn't necessarily means that a pipe is just better because the airway is open. A customer told me that at first he didn't like one of my pipes with this feature, but once he learned that he must smoke slowly things were really good.
Me? Don't know. I think a continuous airway (this is, without "steps") is the key, not if the airway is tapered or not. Different diameters may work for different people.
