[QUOTE="rothnh, post: 249104, member: 2663"] I'll preface this by saying I don't own a bog wood pipe. Yet. But I have researched them quite a bit. Due to morta's porosity, I agree that any liquid in or near the bog wood itself is not recommended. Ever. Otherwise, it can be cleaned as you would a briar. Also as noted here, more than a few state that morta doesn't shine with virginia and virginia-forward blends, but does very well with Englishes and Balkans. There are also different types of morta which some say their smoking experience differs from one another. However, a Bog wood pipe master, Davorin, disagrees. You can check out his Q&A here: [url=http://davorinmortapipes.wordpress.com/some-questions-and-answers/]http://davorinmortapipes.wordpress.com/some-questions-and-answers/[/url] All said, I still believe that since bog wood used for morta pipes comes from a host of various countries (hell even Peterson made pipes from Irish bog wood during the War), it's safe to assume that both the looks and the smoking qualities will vary, sometimes considerably, from pipe to pipe.
