[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 86576, member: 509"] There are a number of factors that might be at play here, Gray. First, my guess is that both your new Italians have acrylic stems. This can make a pipe feel very different, and somewhat "cold". Second, I find (and I think others do as well) that Italian pipes often mute certain flavors - they are a very soft smoke, and offer a very round flavor profile, if that makes any sense. Third, a lot of Italian pipes have larger bowl and are drilled at almost double the airway size of traditional English pipes which makes them behave slightly differently given the same puffing pressure.... Personally, I love Italian pipes, and I buy em with no hesitation. [/QUOTE]
