[QUOTE="glpease, post: 43931, member: 18"] So true. I've had pipes with such an abrupt taper that clenching the things result in my drooling, and not even realizing it. The steep slope pressed down my lower lip, and, voila. Not particularly pleasant. A lot of my Castellos are much thicker than the less-than-4.0mm that seems to be in vogue, yet they are still quite comfortable, largely because of what George mentions above, and because of their longer slope and, therefore, more gradual taper. Some pipes with poorly designed mouthpieces, even very light ones, just make my jaw hurt. I was smoking a very delicate, very light 1/4 bent the other day whilst on my way somewhere. I reached my destination, removed the pipe from my teeth, and suddenly realized that I could not open my mouth. Talk about TMJ... -glp [/QUOTE]
