These are the cigar-looking briars that burn horizontally, right? I'm always interested in seeing them on sale, and a few have spoken of them with great enthusiasm, as if they were a great addition to their stable of pipes. It doesn't impress me as an improvement on the traditional pipe design. It seems to confute the benefits of a cigar with pipe smoking -- it's okay but not alluring to me, like trying to get a cigar experience out of a cigar leaf blend. But I haven't tried one, so I'm willing to hear what others have to say. I like smoking cigar leaf in my pipe, and some cigar leaf pipe blends are excellent to me, like Billy Budd. So tell me more.
