[QUOTE="AJ, post: 496733, member: 2363"] Richard like the other posters you have brought to our attention another element that needs to be considered. When you described the great smoker you lost you said it seemed to breathe and exuded something akin to wax from it's surface. I wonder if it could have been made from oil cured Algerian Briar? The Edward's pipe I own are made from oil cured Algerian Briar and they smoke sweet. There's one I thought was emitting something from within the briar after it warmed up. Do pipes made from oil cured Algerian Briar smoke sweeter and is this due to the oil curing, the type of briar, or both? Alfred Dunhill used to make his pipes using this formula and turned out some outstanding pipes. You also mentioned the fine smoking cobs and wondered if pipe maker's were incorporating their characteristics into briar pipes to make the smoke better? Another interesting point that I'd like for some pipe maker comment on. Thanks Richard for your contribution. :) AJ [/QUOTE]
