[QUOTE="Ol'Dawg, post: 145004, member: 105"] You never know what may cause a pipe to smoke badly unless it's an obvious flaw in craftsmanship. I've got 3 pipes that would be suitable for a "wall of shame" but I don't believe it's the fault of the craftsman and I think it would be unfair to them to attribute the poor smoking qualities of the pipe on a "wall of shame". Fortunately one began smoking perfectly on the 21st smoke. Why it took so long and suddenly turned the corner I'll never know. Has really nice grain and fine craftsman ship. I gave up on another on the 25th smoke...always gurgles and gives as bitter taste but has nice grain and fine craftsmanship. One $375 pipe smokes dry but has given a consistent very bitter taste to any and all tobaccos I've tried in it since I received it new. It's now being stored in its leather pouch as I'm pondering what to do with it. I just don't feel right trying to pass it along. Some thoughts that have come to my mind are: the original heath bush was-- a marking spot for the neighborhood dogs or cats, an outdoor latrine for the briar harvesters, a gray water dump site or the briar block was on the corner of the storage pile next the neighborhood dog walk. Jim..my ha'pence if that [/QUOTE]
