[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 201842, member: 1387"] Shane, straighter grain makes for a prettier pipe in some owners minds. Some pipe makers use rustication in order to cover up imperfections in the grain of the wood. Another aspect is, you never know the particular smoking qualities of a particular pipe until you actually smoke it. Qualities one guy likes, another may not. Buying a pipe and finding out you don't enjoy smoking it is one reason a lot of guys stick mostly to cobs, since the internal engineering never changes from one pipe to the next. Have I purchased pipes in the past that are poor smokers that never leave the rack? Sad to say, "YES!" Does that keep me from buying another that catches my eye? Sad to say, "NO!" :lol: I have 2 $300.00 Nordings that are great smokers, but I would steer clear of any low priced Nording's. [/QUOTE]
