I just started smoking a pipe this year and it has been wonderful for both my husband and me. I started with clay pipes and now Andy has turned me onto a briar. But, and he thinks I'm silly, I swear that I can taste the acrylic stem and I just don't like that. My tobacco tastes far better in my clay pipe, but I don't like smoking the clay pipe in public because it's delicate and, judging from the dirty looks, has the appearance of a weed pipe.
Is the acrylic taste something that will go away as I break in the briar pipe? And where the heck can I find a pipe with a wooden stem and mouth piece that doesn't look like something that I'd take to the Renaissance Faire?
I'd appreciate some help. We're both pretty new to the pipe scene (just switched over from cigars to save money).
