Crazy how that works right?

I find the most change when smoking in different sized bowls or when smoking in a Dublin, which has a conical drilled chamber which concentrates flavors as the tobacco burns down.

I have a question that is causing me to hesitate to buy a vintage Dunhill. Does a metal spigot, either gold, silver or stainless steel, cause excessive moisture??

Why would it? On a well made spigot, the metal is merely on the outside of the pipe. I have several that use stainless steel tubing inside the draft to get the shank as thin as possible, and even on those, there is no moisture problem.
I think most moisture issues come from stepped down draft sizes, compressing the smoke, and turbulence.

Thank you for your reply. I will start bidding on it

My reply is chopped liver?? hahau

Welcome and:

Please put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why:
That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts. It cuts down on posts or PMs asking where you are.
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.

The most drastic experience I've ever had was when I was a new smoker. Frog Morton Cellar. In a cob, it was the most amazing thing I've ever tasted. Almost a pure Hickory smoked flavor with some earth and sweetness. In a briar, all I could taste was the Virginias. It was a very strange and stark contrast between the two pipes. I still haven't been able to recreate that experience with latakia, in any pipe, but I'll never forget it.
