[QUOTE="denholrl, post: 323062, member: 2760"] Straight grain briar is NOT always the best smoke. In fact, it doesn't automatically smoke any better than any other grain orientation. What's important is that the ENTIRE bowl be tightly and completely grained and, more importantly, that the wood has been properly cured. Straight grain, versus cross-grain or mixed grain is PURELY a matter of aesthetics. Don't pay more for a straight grained pipe unless you love looking at it. It's no guaranty of a good smoke.
