Has anyone here tried the newer MM maple hardwood pipes? I am not talking about the Ozark Mountain ones, but the maple pipes that are in the style of their cobs.

Yes, and I was NOT impressed. Burned very hot, too much wood taste. If you want to try alternate hardwoods, I would suggest the oak, olive or pearwood pipes being made in Eastern Europe.

I have not tried them, but I have faith that the company would not produce a product they wouldn't smoke themselfs, seeing as it is owned by pipe smokers. I would like to know if anyone else has tried these so I can get more opinions. Consider this a "bump" post.

I know you said not the ozark mountain ones, but I got one of them just today and WHAT a crackerjack smoker. Had three bowls before I could put it down.

I have one. I smoked it on a trip and it did have an overwhelming flavor of the wood to the first 3 smokes. It was a bit too much so I switched to a cob and haven't tried it again since. It did smoke cool and dry for me but as I said earlier, the wood was a bit too much. I'll try it again this weekend and see if it does better.

I love my Ozark Mountain pipes. I especially like them after the fourth or fifth bowl, it seems to be when they are good and seasoned.
It is hard to believe that such a cheap pipe smokes so well. I smoke at least a bowl a day from them. I do like keeping the filter in as I like the draw with the filter in.

Now these are the responces I was expecting, bit of a break in and a wonderful pipe afterwords. Of course I am pretty biased on this subject, it's a rate occasion when I'm not smoking a cob from them.

I have one and love it. I purchased a churchwarden stem off ebay and not I have my "Maple Warden" nice cool tasty smoker. Takes about 3-5 bowls to get em broke in.

I acquired several of them during the cob shortage that was caused by drought conditions and the retailers were having a tough time keeping some of the cobs in stock, particularly the larger pipes. As I understand it, the maple hardwood pipe was a direct response by MM to try and fill in the time until the cob crops rebounded and they were able to produce at normal levels again. Anyway, the maple pipes smoke fine after a short break-in and the woodsie taste mentioned in other posts will go away. The best thing is, to try one is only going to cost you about $10!

Funny that this post should pop up. Last week I got 2 in the mail (I plan on giving one to my cousin).
I haven't had time to smoke it yet. I'll take one on the first camping trip on the year and give it a try.

Smoked mine a few days ago. I have an affinity for hardwood pipes. Luv 'em.
