[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 245749, member: 1969"] Morta is more porous, yet is a bit denser than briar. I haven't had to spirit-soak my morta for any reason, however, if cobs are any indication, more porous might soak up more moisture, but it might take less time to dry out. Just a guess. I'd be careful with morta in this fashion, S_C, morta can have "soft spots" where the not-quite-petrified wood hasn't gone t through its unique "process" evenly, probably due to differences in the wood itself back when it was a tree. Soaking might loosen up these fibers and cause divots in the chamber after smoking, even if dry. I had this happen in one of mine which I discovered was from the moisture of the tobacco, but nothing a little pipe mud couldn't fix. 8) [/QUOTE]
