[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 80638, member: 509"] Agree w/ pipetongue. "Heaviness' or "relative heaviness" (= density) could come from the material itself - slower growing wood it more dense, for example, or it could come from poor curing. Wet wood weighs more than dry wood. So all things considered, I buy a lighter pipe if the weight is going to be an issue (on a long, straight pipe for example). But on a full-bent, or a featherweight pipe, a few grams won't be noticed. BTW, I agree with the assessment that Algerian is generally more dense than some of the Italian stuff (other briar out of Italy has been extremely dense) but it certainly offers a top class smoke. In other words, weight will tell you very little about a pipe, other than the weight of the pipe. ;) [/QUOTE]
