I've had off-and-on problems with tongue (and lip) bite, less lately since I've slowed down the rate of my smoking by a considerable amount. Yeah, finding certain tobaccos now more the problem, and some very short stems, but I think this is more technique than an inherent problem. Your pipe and it's qualities caught my interest. . . . . source? Inquiring minds want to know.My new curiousity, a second day in. EA Carey Magic Inch pipe, a honey tan XL bowl slightly bent pot with brown stem. At only $70 American, it’s obviously not artisan quality, but doggone if the thing doesn’t work to keep every smoke cool, and avoid tongue bite. I also am finding that any flavor loss from the added outside air is minimal at worst. Think I may keep 2-3 of these things around for when I need a pipe to serve that purpose of the ultimate cool-smoker.
Today’s challenge isn’t pictured, but it was the worst tongue-bite, hot-smoke stuff for me, which is ol’ Captain Black from an aged, 2 gallon plastic bag. No problem, and no tongue bite.

The background scenic shot looks a little like a golf course under construction. Just sayin'.... perhaps the spectre of Sir Cretinous is haunting my bookshop?Monday again already?!
Match Victorian in a Briarlee accompanied by black coffee was the 0400 commuter smoke.
Now it’s on to McConnell’s Scottish Cake in the smooth Ropp J07.
I picked up an interesting blasted J07 for backup, but it’ll be waiting in the wings.

I like it alot. The bowl size gives a good hour of Haunted Bookshop first thing in the morning. This was one of my first Peterson's that I bought.How do you like the 69 shape?
