Re: Do you prefer meerschaum, briar, or cob? And why?

i don't think he means that the pipe "adds" a flavor. i think he means that if you smoke a certain blend in a certain pipe, over a period of time, they just seem to be meant for each other.
sometimes it takes practice on finding what pipe is best for what tobacco. but once found, you can't stop grabbing that pipe and that tobacco.

i prefer briar, mainly because i'm not "old school"...
i do like meers, but they gotta be good meers, not cheapy meers (which i may still have one that i just don't smoke).

yep, finding a pipe/tobacco pairing is awesome. then a while later, it seems that the pipe smokes the tobacco for you (that's a well broken in pipe).
