I think I stole a vintage Kaywoodie...

Not sure if there is such a thing as a "vintage" Kaywoodie. However, hope it smokes well for you. But it is a nice looking pipe.

Get rid of the insert if is one in there, it smokes better.

I can take it or leave it...they make good smokers...can't pull out a stinger on a Kaywoodie otherwise there would be no way to attach the stem to the shank...you'd have to hack it off with a saw, and that would ruin it for most Kaywoodie fans...

Well, this one dates back to 1950-1955...that's pretty vintage to me...can't take out the insert and in this case it's a 4-holer which would absolutely destroy the pipe...the metal does a pretty good job of trapping moisture and if it gurgles it's usually just a bit too wet at the end of the stinger...a pipe cleaner pushed up to that point will soak up some of it and solve the problem...
