Take a look see at this stem...
How does he go down past the center with his half saddle? I mean, is the airway off center? Is it drilled at an angle? I'm showing me green'ness on hand cut stems, I know... I'm just having trouble conceptualizing how it's done (for the whole 2 minutes that I thought about it! :naughty: )
Either it was drilled off-center (not that hard to do, really) or it was a very thick pice of rod stock and the bottom half was ground away. I find off-center airholes really handy for hawkbills, FWIW.
Happy Smoking,
