Now with all the estate work that I do I'm pretty good at hiding fills (which is a lot easier on dark pipes) so should I start to fill?

DMI .. have to agree with Rad here.. I attended a seminar at my favorite tobaccoist in germany and Rainer Barbi gave a rather interesting interpretation on the flaws... As long as the bowl and what you can see of the airway are free of flows you can do what you want with the rest of the body... look at porche pipes and many of the established companies... just paint them.. I had (have) an italian pipe that I enjoyed for years... and then one day decided to sand the "red" clear lack down and try staining it a different color.. once the outer shell was off, most of the pipe was fill.. sure it wasn't too expensive, and the fill didn't affect the smoke.. it wasn't noticable until the color was off.RadDavis wrote:No one will object to a fill on a rusticated or blasted pipe, as long as it doesn't show in the finished product.
