Why ?

Someone try yo fix their gurgling problem with a drain hole? (just a comment to subscribe to the thread)

That was my fist thought, would make smoking a bit messy.

Morning Matt,

It looks like someone tried to make carburetor holes, like the Kaywoodie Carburetor pipe. I never smoked a Kaywoodie Carburetor but I’ve seen a few and their hole is through a metal grommet, not just a random drill hole. I imagine that the holes would make these pipes burnout candidates and I doubt that there would be any beneficial effect.

Thanks for pointing them out and I’d suggest, to anyone who might be interested in them, that there are better fish to be had, these are throwbacks.

Thanks Pete, I had noticed they were all from one seller so I figured they came from the same estate as well.I just hope the "Old Boy " smoking them enjoyed his pipes.
