    Can someone explain briar grade in details?

    I wonder how do manufacturer select briar. When buying a new briar pipe, some online sites claim their briar is high grade. What means high grade? How do I inspect if a briar is of high grade?

    Pipe Suggestions

    My first pipe is Peterson. And I do agree with Mick. If you can afford $200, buy 2 to switch and feel the difference.

    My first Gigi pipe

    Have anyone here once used Gigi pipe? I just bought one from JrCigar at DC (around $50 )and found the hole is a little smaller than my current Peterson and Savinelli. Therefore, each smoke cannot have enough amount of smoke. Is this pipe designed to" light smoke" ?

    Can you recommend a repair store to remake the hole of my bent pipe?

    Mick, I don't use barsa system in Savinelli though my pipe can use it. I just install that black short pipe within the package instead. I think the filter can go through into the bowl. Sorry I am a beginner. Hole to hole, right? Why can't it pass through in the bowl?

    Can you recommend a repair store to remake the hole of my bent pipe?

    Trust me guys, I do turn the filter. It just cannot pass through. I want to insert the filter because I want it to absorb the moist. And when I smoke close to bottom, I want to insert the filter to elevate the tobacco a little bit so the fresh air can come in. Or I can never finish the whole...

    Moisture in the tobacco

    Recently I try to buy some tobacco jar but I have a question here. I notice some website is also selling hydration kit for the jar. Doesn't the jar itself include a hydration kit like Cigar case?

    How to insert cleaner to bent pipe?

    big van, I suppose I can taste the difference though I think this is might just a feeling. Because bent pipe let the smoke cool in the curve, so I can enjoy more rather than straight one, which is usually hotter and sometimes gives me tongue bite. I am a newbie and as I said this is just a feeling.
