    Will Smoking Dried Out Tobacco Ruin A Pipe?

    Newbie question here- I like dried out tobacco and have less tongue bite from it. But will dried tobacco crack a pipe or make it hotter? Also my Meerschaum burns hotter than my briar. Is the normal? Thanks guys.

    Also I just want to add for clarity, that the pipe was only $12 bucks. Which made me believe it was maybe plastic or something like that. :roll:
