Are there items I can use to cool the smoke intake?

[QUOTE="Frost, post: 139965, member: 974"] Pretty sure I have never heard of any cooling "devices", but truthfully I have not been at it all that long either. As far as bent vs straights, some bent pipes have a sort of "well" incorporated into the drilling designed to trap moisture and supposedly provide a dryer and therefore cooler smoke (Peterson system pipes). My personal experience has been that flavor tends to come through a little more directly and "clearer" on straighter pipes, and I am of the opinion that the fewer disturbances there are in the airway the better. Other pipes make use of filters of various sorts to trap moisture and filter the smoke, with the same desired effect (example-savinelli). Meerschaum pipes apparently sort of have a similar effect due to the nature of the material, but I've no experience with 'em. Truth be told though, I suspect that regardless of pipe and/or contraption usage, "proper" smoking technique will likely yield a more pleasurable smoke than any fancy widgets. It does take time to develop tho. I myself am just starting to feel like I can get a consistent and reliably good smoke out of any given pipe on any given day, and can occasionally get an amazing smoke out of a few of my pipes and experience a few select tobaccos to their full potential. Man, I sure can be wordy sometimes. Apologies for the long-windedness. Or long fingeredness. Or whatever...lol. [/QUOTE]
