[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 714, member: 7"] I have not noticed any difference when dealing with briar. But there could be something. That I have simply not connected all the dots yet. When smoking wild olivewood, it's do dense it transfers heat like it was metal. Or so it seems. Teaches you to slow down. It could be that slightly different densities of briar could smoke a bit differently. One a little hotter and perhaps better with certain tobaccos. Another a little cooler and it's better with other blends. We just simply think that one is a flake pipe. Or an English pipe. Or we put it down to the shape of the bowl. Maybe it affects taste too. Another variable! When I first tried the back back in the 1970's, the few fellows around then always said that "old wood, is good wood". Greg said something about that the other day. There must be something to that. Guess we better make some notes and vow to study harder if possible. [/QUOTE]
