I have always wondered if pipes, such as the horn shape and the cutty, and
others that are clearly angled, burn out because the fire is unevenly distributed.
Most pipes are smoked at an angle anyway, because we don't hold them
perpendicular to the ground/floor at all times, but they are probably moved
around in a somewhat even way. But I have always wondered if an angled
bowl would tend to burn up the front or back of the bowl because of uneven
heat. Does anyone have a horn that they have smoked for years, or has anyone
seen a horn that has been smoked for years that might prove or disprove this
idea. Just intrigued by the physics of the thing -- simple but perplexing.
