3.7 inches long. Now that is a nose warmer! Very clean lines. Very interesting pipe.

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.

Greg Pease published his impressions on the subject in his page.

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.
