[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 234447, member: 2244"] All this talk about "engineering" and such got me curious about two pipes that I have in my collection so I got them out to measure all this airway stuff. They are two Charatan Special Pot #4148DC 's that I bought back in 1973, and 1974. They are two of my favorite smoking pipes and being identical in size, shape, finish etc you would think they would smoke the same as both are "engineered" identically by the same firm presumeably within a year of each other, but this is far from fact. Smoking the same tobacco in one is usually a one clnr smoke till done, the other usually will take 2/3 till done, with the same tobacco in both, smoked inside etc. The taste and smoothness and enjoyment of the tobacco is almost IDENTICAL just one smokes a bit "wetter" than the other. I love 'em both and the fact that one is a bit wetter of a smoker does not bother me, that's just how THAT pipe smokes! My personal experience over the years I've smoked is that the briar, it's age, it's curing etc are what is the MOST important aspect of a pipe . But I don't make 'em nor am I an engineer so what the heh :P I just smoke a pipe :P [/QUOTE]
