    Your feelings about Grecian briar

    Hey. All the articles I have looked at about briar claim Grecian is the best of the best but I have a feeling that it may be more difficult to work with because it's most likely going to be harder wood than other types but I'm no expert.

    Pipe filters; I have VERY sensitive tongue and want to try filters. How and where do i buy filters that will fit in my normal sized pipes (Dunhill,et

    Have you ever tried a P Lip bit. You mostly find them on Peterson pipes and some Grabow pipes like the Omega. A P Lip tip sends the smoke to the roof of your mouth and circulate around in your mouth as a standard bit shoots the smoke on your tongue. I love my P Lips. You may to!

    Very nice. I really like the shillelagh. That's next on my list. There is someone selling new ones in different colors and without bowls on e bay. I was looking at them yesterday. They cost a pretty Penney though. About 50.00 bucks. Is your white bowl a meer or briar?

I ordered tobacco...
