[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 194905, member: 1969"] Form and function. I think pipes, especially those made and found today, have worked out much of the "function" parameters: even though some decades ago the wheel was trying to be reinvented with different materials, cooling designs and wacky gimmicks--nothing has come close to what we know and do right now. Like Mark said: a cob is a piece of dried, hollowed vegetable matter with a tubelike stick shoved in it and smoked--works great. Little has changed since its original inception and design, and why should it? Form is another subject entirely. You'll find guys that swear certain setups work better for this and that, and they're probably right. To the next guy, though, whose style and method of smoking may differ, this could be a contentious point. Comparing one shape to another can be external or internal...bowl design or chamber design. Then there's the discussion of "art." God help us. :lol: 8) [/QUOTE]
