[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 43880"] Two observations on your picture, Aaron. 1) The more bent a pipe shape is, the more likely it is to condense moisture inside it. (Nobody's talking mechanical predestination here. Only liklihood). 2) That decorative wood on the rim is not likely (see above) to resist tarring up and charring nearly as well as briar would. Briar you can keep fairly clean fairly easily. Softwood trim ? If I were in your situatiuon, I would be (in fact, I am) inclined to save my pennies until I had 10,000 of them or so, and spend them on something like a cleaned-up, newer Sea Rock (Castello) or something similar from somebody like Marty Pulvers (especially since Briar Blues is no more). I.e., get aquainted with something a step or two above what you're (I'm assuming, used to and thinking in terms of getting more of) familiar with. The coinage would be about comparable ; the resulting experience might not be. :face: [/QUOTE]
