Good evening, all.
So in planning my next pipe acquisition, I am considering picking up a Danish style pipe- More specifically, a Ben Wade. I have seen quite a few in my price range and I have heard the brand spoken of highly in forums, so they seem like a good bet.
My question is about the tenon/mortise area of Danish style pipes. I tend to smoke hands-free- I wouldn't say I clench, but I angle the bit into the old over-bite and it kind of rests using a bottom bicuspid as a fulcrum. I am worried I'd do this and take my hands away to type and the tenon would pop out of the mortise and my shiny new pipe would fall to the ground. Are they generally a snug fit and not something to worry about? Should I just stick to small pipes and or bent pipes that nest safely in my beard?
Thanks,
Justin
