Ben, thank you for the link to this fantastic article! And I love this nugget of imparted wisdom: "I make conical air draft, narrowing from 4.1 mm to 2.3mm at the bit, in mouthpiece. My mouthpieces are always polished, not only outside, but inside as well. Polished air drafts are critical to achieving a comfortable, cool and dry smoke."The doc is hardcore smoker and coffee dude and probably smarter than me!
