I've got a question about one of my pipes.

It's a Ben Wade – 10W Walnut Briar (Made in Leeds) which I'm trying to find some data about and I thought that perhaps some of you folks might be able to enlighten me about it a bit. I've done a bit of research on Ben Wade in general, but been unable to find any specific information on this particular pipe.

It's the high-end model of a Chacom 214, a hungarian. I like the shape well enough to want to copy it, so I thought I'd grab the pipe. The hand cut stem is done pretty shabbily, and the finish on the briar is really pretty bad. Worst of all, the tenon occludes the airway a bit. All fixable by me, but your average smoker would have a loser on his hands. The really sad thing is that out of 4 214s in the shop, ...

I can only think its to do with the quality of briar used, or the airhole and how its connected to the shank. Can anyone enlighten me?

This has me thinking of buying one. Not to smoke the narghil or whatever it is but for our pipe tobacco. To accomplish this I think a briar or meerschaum bowl would be required. Given the dimensions of the stem that the ceramic bowl sticks into on the hookah, I think that any accomplished carver could produce a suitable bowl. Any thoughts?
