So someone told me a straight pipe will smoke hotter than a bent.
Which can cause tongue bite.
Is this true guys?
No.
My experience is that a bent pipe is more likely to smoke wet or gurgle than a straight pipe.
Out of around thirty pipes in my rotation, with an even mix of bent and straight, only two of my pipes need a pipe cleaner half way through the smoke and they're both bent [Why I only smoke them once a week]
As others have said, tongue bite is caused by other factors with moisture of the tobacco at the top of the list.
Cherry tobaccos would be next.
