[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 220171, member: 1969"] Certain pipes just don't work with certain tobacco. The bowl size, draft hole opening, even the inner shape of the bit opening where it meets the mouth can deliver smoke in specific ways. Hell, I have pipes that work great with one tobacco, and one tobacco only. Also, I find new pipes change the approach and psychology to the smoking ritual itself. Like an excited little kid, we entertain ourselves with the new toy with high expectations, and play a little too roughly--our tongue can be the victim. Sear (too hot) and bite (chemical) being the result in most cases. I haven't ruled out that these meerschaum pipes might be of lower quality than indicated--I've seen a lot of no-name meerschaum pipes that could be made of anything. There's no real rules or standards that I'm aware of that says imported pipes must be made from such-and-such quality of this-and-that meerschaum. It could be cow bone with epoxy. :lol: 8) [/QUOTE]
