[QUOTE="ftrplt, post: 328740, member: 32"] I'm more than old enough to remember the old B & W ads featuring "Doctor" E. A. Carey and his magic pipe!!! Sold quite a few when I did such in the 60's. Point was the little hole (or holes, depending on model) was supposed to introduce a "puff of cool air" into the shank/stem to help get rid of moisture (hence the paper insert) and "cool" the smoke! The newer Amphoras may do the same; never came across one. Personally, I dump the Carey's in with Medico, "The Pipe," Yello-Bowl, and most any filtered pipe; just some sort of gimmick. But that's just me, if you like'em; smoke'em!!! The Carey's are not going to give you the greatest briar, pretty common as a rule. I've forgotten where they are made. At one time, I think they were produced either in Sparta, NC (Dr. Grabow, etc.) or Barstow, OK (various brands). Again, personally, I'd much rather have a good cob!!!!:cheers: FTRPLT [/QUOTE]
