What was your worst ever smoking pipe?

[RDPipes]

Have a unmarked French made pipe, think it's a Butz Choquin 2nd that I never got a good smoke out of. Still trying to find something that smokes well in it cause I kinda like the looks of it and hate to give it up.
Oh! and every Sav I've ever had. Quirky draw is only way I can explain it. Could never taste what I was smoking but, it could be just me.

Any one of several green-wood basket pipes I bought when I first started smoking. Not all basket pipes are bad; I have several that smoke as well as anything else, but these were "nicotinic," vile, bitter pieces of uncured lumber--and yes, they usually gurgled to boot. Junk.

A Kiko meerschaum. The thing's airway was too small and was high in the chamber. Eventually I decided to try and drill it open. It broke. There were no tears!

The Pipe. Made of some space age material. Smoked hot and wet. You could wash it with the dishes, though. I literally threw it away in disgust.

Graphite!!! I sold a bunch of these while working in a pipe shop during my college years. Awful things!!!! Glad I never bought one:evil: FTRPLT

A Digby straight apple. Just unbelievably bad-- hot and flavorless. I still have it, but I'm not sure why.

The three worst smoking pipes I owned were also 3 of the best looking. All three were Peter Matzhold pipes that had incredible grain but all 3 were the wettest smokers I ever encountered. Like an idiot I bought them all before I smoked even one as I was blown away at the looks and didn't think about the smoking properties. This was a long time ago when I was chasing grain and how they smoked took a back seat. I learned a valuable lesson from it and never chased grain again.
