[QUOTE="TheLowlyApprentice, post: 452908, member: 3979"] Maybe it's because I'm a rank newbie at the puffer's hobby, but when I don't have the Softies installed, I find that each of my pipes requires a unique placement in my mouth in order to get a good purchase on the bit. Some of my pipes have wide bits, some have narrow, some stems are straight, some are bent and without the Softies, I find myself having to fiddle with each pipe in order to secure it. And on more than one occasion I've thought that I had a good grip on the pipe when all of a sudden I found that I didn't have such a good purchase on the bit and the pipe torqued in my mouth and I've almost wound up with a lap full of hot coals and ashes. With the Softies installed I can get a good purchase on the bit in nothin' flat and that's true with any pipe I'm smoking. Granted, the aesthetics of the Softies leaves something to be desired, but I'll take the convenience and safety of the Softies any day over the aesthetics. TLA [/QUOTE]
