So I ordered a Castello billiard pipe with an interesting smooth but carved (faceted) bowl in a light finish. It's a beutiful pipe with a fairly large bowl capacity. It's not really broken in quite yet but I am having to fiddle with that thing more than I would like. I have had a few situations where it just plugs. Also, the bowl gets hot really fast and I mean pretty uncomfortably hot. I don't have either issue with most of my other pipes. Am I packing too tightly? Am I smoking too fast and do different pipes have a propensity to smoke cool or hot for a give brand/shape? I would love to hear some feedback, suggestions or advice.
