    So What Turn's You Off About the Physical Construction of a Pipe?

    Poor drilling is number one. Also, thick stems, large bits, shorter than 5 1/2", longer than 6", full bents, bowl coatings, filters, stain inside the bowl or stain that runs off on your hand, cobs. But I'm not picky or anything! :ROFLMAO:

    Do Filters Cool Down a Pipe?

    Sorry, I simply don't agree. I am not a new pipe smoker. I don't puff, I sip. My packing and cadence usually result in a flavorful smoke, right to the bottom on a single light. I think engineering and size of the airway absolutely affect the draw. Try smoking an old Grabow or any other pipe with...

    Does Bowl Shape and Size Affect Taste/Burn of Tobacco?

    I feel it does. For me, smaller bowls tend to strengthen or intensify mellow flavors, like Virginia leaf. Bigger bowls seem to allow identifying individual tastes of different leaves in a more complex blend, like certain English blends with Virginia, Latakia, and various Oriental leaves.

    Do Filters Cool Down a Pipe?

    I could have, but filter pipes are designed to use the filter. The airway would be too open unless I wanted to fiddle with an adapter. I don't see any advantages to having a filter, so I don't buy filter pipes.

    Do Filters Cool Down a Pipe?

    Of course pipes are an involved process, when compared to other types of tobacco consumption. There is prepping the tobacco, packing the bowl, false light, true light, conscientious tamping, careful cadence, dumping the bowl after, wiping the bowl, running a cleaner or two, stem care, etc. I...

    Do Filters Cool Down a Pipe?

    Lmao! I felt it was all that needed to be said! Sure, I could have waxed poetic about gimmicks and gadgets like filters and stingers and so on. I could have shared my personal experiences that have led me to determine the uselessness of such, and how they only complicate an already involved...

    Thoughts on Giant Pipes

    Not for me. I am very specific about pipe dimensions

    What Are Your Largest Pipes.

    Though I have owned larger pipes in the past, they are all gone now. I have become very particular about the dimensions of the pipes I smoke. My pipes are all between 5 1/2 & 5 3/4" long, 1 1/2" -1 3/4" tall, with and inner chamber diameter around 0.75". The largest I would consider would be 6"...

    Buying Pipes on Auction for Immediate Resale?

    I have, a few times. Occasionally a pipe will be listed incorrectly, like Dunghill instead of Dunhill, and you're able to get it for much less than if listed correctly. Other times, an auction will end and a weird time, like 2:00am on a Wednesday. Same thing. The snipers are asleep. If I can...
