    Your beautiful pipe that doesn't smoke so well.

    Anyone here has any briar stemmed pipes? How was your experience with them?

    I too have not received my secret Christmas gift. But i was not expecting it to arrive by Christmas. I'm sure it will arrive at some point. And hey... it'll be Christmas all over again! Ho ho ho!!

    Your beautiful pipe that doesn't smoke so well.

    Thanks for the input. I don't think it is related to cleaning. But the quality of the briar could be the culprit. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Genod/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=228479 It may not be the exact pipe i own, but what do you think?

    Do Aromatics get better with age too?

    I've found that i prefer aromatics a lot more when they've aged. Smokes smoother and tastes rounder, if that makes sense. Disclaimer: I don't smoke aromatics much anymore, if at all. So i may not represent the palate that you want to hear from. ;{D
