[QUOTE="tg, post: 32693, member: 484"] I prefer straight pots. Bents just don't feel comfortable to me. The most important thing for me though is to avoid any sort of varnished pipes these days as the varnish bubbles if the pipe gets too hot. I have varnished pipes from the early 80s though where this never happened (and I smoked a lot faster then) so I suspect it's all about quality (bearing in mind I do not buy expensive pipes). I always therefore go for "stained" pipes (there's got to be a more technical term for this - ie matt finish and not shiny). The one exception is Vauen pipes from Germany which never bubble but they are a bit pricey. Having said all of that, I still smoke Falcons 90% of the time because they are just so easy. [/QUOTE]
