[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 402833, member: 1387"] Jeff, thanks so much for the feedback. As for hotter, cooler, or more flavorful, I can't really tell any difference with a bamboo shank. My guess is that the shank is too far behind the bowl to noticeably affect the taste of the tobacco. I had never purchased a bamboo shanked pipe until I scored one of Riccardo Santia's bamboo shanked cobs. It is probably the driest smoking pipe I own, and I believe the bamboo is largely responsible. I know some folks hate the looks of bamboo, but I actually like the primitive look myself, especially on a cob. In addition, some artisan carvers have done some amazing things with bamboo. The real reason I favor bamboo though, is it is an excellent example of form follows function. [/QUOTE]
