Yo, piping peeps, TB here. So, I have been looking at all kind of Danish high grade pipes... you know, the spendy ones in shapes so cool with German ebonite mouth pieces... Can't really afford one right now, but hey, what's wrong with a little snooping around, right? On that note, why is it that, almost to a "T," the Italians use acrylic and the Danes use ebonite? And while we're at it, is there such a thing as free will? Oops, wait a minute, different post there... Ya, so, to keep the digression fairly linear, we now come to the chamfered bit question: what is it? I believe it has something to do with the exit airway at the bit, and some sort of Danish procedure in which this air passage is kind of sexied up a bit, so to speak, to make for a mo' better smoke. But that's a very uneducated guess, more of an intuited stab at some sort of definition. Any thoughts on the Italian/Danish stem material thang is more than welcome, and of course, if any of our esteemed pipesters can enlighten me as to the definition of "chamfer" and how it relates to pipes it would be most appreciated. Always looking to expand my knowledge, as well as the ol' lexicon, ya know.
Party on, Wayne.
