[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 171402, member: 341"] It's likely a case of selection bias. The pipes that smoked like crap in 1911 got thrown in a drawer, burned through, abused as yard pipes, and in general replaced. And there were a lot of crap pipes then, because only a very tiny percentage of the huge numbers of pipes of that era survived to the present date. The sweetest smokers were much more likely to stick around, either in use or because someone wanted to save Grampa's favorite pipe (which was his favorite because it smoked so nicely.) [/QUOTE]
