[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 383780, member: 1690"] I don't know, this guy seems to like it. Seriously, since I'm still gently breaking it in (I opted for no bowl coating) I can't give a final judgment on smoking characteristics, but it's good so far. I had some reservations about the metal tubing that strengthens the shank, thinking there might be a condensation problem, but the problem never happened. As a matter of fact, a post-smoke cleaner comes out amazingly dry. Very strange. Another thing is that I can't see a reason to ever remove the bit--you know, to clean the mortise? There is no mortise. And the draw is absolutely perfect, not even a hint of a whistle, yet not wide, wide open. The feel of the pipe in hand is really unique, at least to me. All in all, it's shaping up quite well. (No, I'm not smoking Mixture No. 79 in it. That's a joke, har, har.) Edit: One day later: Oh, wow! This pipe loves LBF!
