upshall兄，看了斗钵口的色泽和碳层，此斗前主人的保养工夫十分了得啊！
哪两支都未抽过的斗，老斗前主人在卖斗前应该有在打蜡。
“年轻” 斗在下还在自行加厚碳陈，打算下星期开斗^__^
内部黑色是"Pre Carbon".

在下大膽判斷upshall兄似乎相當鍾情於James Upshall的煙斗upshall兄所發表的煙斗照片中幾乎全是清一色James Upshall 想必對James Upshall這個品牌的煙斗相當了解請恕在下孤陋寡聞不知可否請upshall兄就James Upshall這個牌子敘述一下其品質 等級 優點以及缺點 謝謝 Deep兄，
在下在旧贴中曾经与几位前辈讨论过这个品牌。

Dear Upshall
以下是引用upshall在2003-6-5 13:45:26的发言：小弟的几支弯斗Ascorti 和Peterson 都过不了pipe cleaner test 这一关。
斗底潮湿可能是我胡乱把烟丝塞进就算造成的。
谢谢 ymectony 提醒。
Personally, I have more straight pipes than bent, however, I have to say that my personal choice is still the bents (due to the reason that it provides more of a "dry" smoking experience for me).
I would not go as far as to say that the moisture created is the product of faulty packing.In my personal point of view, I would say that it is more likely to be contributed by one's smoking habbit and also the nature of a particular type of blend being consumed (as we all know that some blends are "juicer" than the other).
For instance, when I smoke, I always prefer to have the pipe hanging from my mouth so I can enjoy both the "nose" and the "taste" of the blend.However, by doing so, it induces the saliva to enter the pipe as a result.
So my friend, don't beat yourself up over it as we all know that you are simply being humble (as always..^^).
Your sincerely,
Ed
