Looked like PaPaw smoked one until it needed to be reamed and then got a new one. If so, lucky Savo'Stick.

Further to that, Savor' - if you get a reamer take care NOT to use it on the meerschaums and risk damaging the clay. Also, some of those briar pipes may have meerschaum-lined bowls - examine the pipes before reaming to avoid crunching clay. I made that mistake once and still feel bad about it.
