Hey Piper Bums!
Not really a piper, but thanks to @Emperor Zurg I have a cob & some Pete Stokkebe (sp?). So I occasionally smoke a bowl. Plus my Dad was a piper, so I remember some of the delicious smelling blends he would smoke.

Now I read Pete's ( @NeverBend ) poll about your favorite material and it has me wondering about the smoking characteristics of the different materials?
Why do you like your favorite pipe material? Does the tobacco burn better in one vs the other?
Enlighten me!
