[QUOTE="balkan_boy, post: 438682, member: 3469"] I have about 5 of them, dated from 4 to 8 thousand years. Each one smokes differently. (but then again, it's the same with briars) All of them are exceptional smokers if not counting the one that's heavily ghosted and the ghost doesn't seem to go away no matter what. There are few things that can be said about mortas: 1. They heat up very quickly, due to high content of minerals (metal) in the wood. It's more thermal conductor than insulator. 2. They cool as quickly as they heat. 3. They smoke cleaner than briar, not as much as meerschaum, but close. 4. They get ghosted easily. DO NOT EVER smoke Lakelands in morta!!!!! You're gonna have a bad time. (personal experience) 5. They are more heat resistant than briar, you can develop cake, but not necessarily. I don't keep cake on mine, and it's ok. 6. In terms of weight they are lighter than briar, which is a good thing. 7. After the carnauba wax is gone, they retain the shine if polished well. Aaaand that's about it. [/QUOTE]
