The wife and I shared four different pipes (in total) last night. One, presumably a pre-1935 Sommer Paris had a hot bowl. Hot to the touch. Excellent draw and experience, but the bowl was certainly hot. 2 different types of tobacco over the course of the evening, same result. All the other pipes' bowls with nominal heat. We "sip", and take the patient approach to pipe smoking. Is this just a cheaply made old pipe (low quality briar)? Not heavily used over the years even though old and in need of further break-in? Ideas?
Thanks, gents.
