[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 498594, member: 1690"] Ditto for old Dunhill Shells vs. smooths. Somewhere I read that a pipemaker (or at least the one being quoted) can tell whether a pipe will be a good performer by the scent of the wood while being worked. Seems like this ought to be true, if it's not. Hasn't anyone else here ever had what I call "green wood" in a pipe? No matter what you do, or what kind of tobacco you smoke, you just can't get the thing to taste right. The tobacco will taste extra strong, always, even up to the point of bitterness. No amount of cleaning, resting, alcohol/salt soaks, or anything else will make it taste like anything but nicotine, or what I think is nicotine. It's as though the pipe had been aged in urine or something. I have tossed a few over the years--before we had ebay, heh, heh. :twisted: [/QUOTE]
