[QUOTE="NorthernLights, post: 319709, member: 3183"] This is the pipe. You can see that the shape is distinctly at an angle. Danish Sovereign. [url=https://servimg.com/view/18434072/6][IMG]https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/18/43/40/72/photo210.jpg[/IMG][/url] The bowl inside descends down into the body, and significantly back towards the shank on the inside. It's also not really round, but more elliptical. It always used to smoke wet, and hot, and I couldn't seem to get a good smoke from it. I could get a better smoke from my Brigham 3 Dot. The Brigham has a perfectly round bowl, the descends straight down, and tapers towards the centre at the bottom, and the air hole meets exactly at the bottom. I was worried that the reason I couldn't get a good smoke from the DS was (what I thought was) the odd bowl shape and angle. Then again, I didn't really know what I was doing. I'm REALLY hoping that it was just all my lack of skill, and that the pipe can smoke well. It was my father's pipe, and I really hope to be able to use it! The air hole does sit up the one side a bit, and I'm tempted to raise the floor w some pipe mud. I've done that before to one of my favourite pipes, which I subsequently sold (stupid, stupid). However, I'm loathe to alter it in any way, because it was my father's. Perhaps I'll just practice like mad with my Brigham, and come back to it when I really feel I've got the hang of things. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
