[QUOTE="Ocelot55, post: 303753, member: 2387"] I have hypothesized that it has to do with the filtration of the smoke. When you smoke a pipe I'd wager that the tobacco is packed more loosely than a cigar and you are also much closer to the smoke. If you smoke a cigar the smoke has to travel through densely packed tobacco to reach your mouth. This gives it time to cool so you won't get steam burn. Here's an experiment, shred a cigar and pack it into a pipe. I'd wager you would experience more bite from it that way. In addition pipe tobacco is almost always treated with a casing or some sort of topping. That might affect the smoke as well. Any experts on the subject? [/QUOTE]
