Do Straight Pipes Mean ?

[ukparagolfer]

So someone told me a straight pipe will smoke hotter than a bent.

Which can cause tongue bite.

Is this true guys?

 

[workman]

No.

 

[sasquatch]

Not one bit.

 

[jpmcwjr]

No; that's absurd. Too many other factors at play.

 

[username]

Nope.

 

[highwaycobbery]

No, but a bent pipe will smoke wet.

Most of what I own is bent, nope there too.

That's wet tobacco, packing too tight, and smoking too fast.

Hadn't noticed that, and I smoke straight and bent pipes about equally.

There's some pipes, no matter the shape or your puffing technique ,that will smoke hot. I haven't found that straight pipes smoke hotter then bents. I have a few, both straight & bent that smoke hot, but they are thin walled and smooth.

 

[Misanthrope]

Not in my experience. I’ve got a few straights and a lot of bents, they all smoke dry and cool when properly packed.

True. And red cars go faster than any other color.

 

[cigrmaster]

None of my straight or bent pipes smoke wet or hot. If you get your technique down you never have to worry about a wet or hot pipe. Just read as much as you can and ask plenty of questions.

Insurance is certainly higher on them.

Most of my pipes are bent billiards and I find that they’re not as “wet”. Occasionally I get that ash moisture in my mouth w/my straight pipes if I don’t keep them angled slightly.

 

[bullet08]

Depends on who's smoking it.

 

[ChuckMijo]

I’m positive you have your answer

I had an insurance agent friend tell me it's because they get pulled over most frequently, and white cars the least. My first car was a white mustang. Irony is I've always hated mustangs. I was raised on the Chevy and Mopar side of the war. Anyway, I only got pulled over twice in 5 years. Once for blatantly running a stop sign, once for doing 55 in a 20. So far I'm buying the logic ?

I think a lot of newer smokers keep looking for the magic bullet that will make them smoke like a seasoned pipeman. Fact is, there’s no substitute for experience.

Own both. Smoke both. Like both. Only common denominator that I’ve found for steam-prone pipes so far is a constricted airway.
