While I don't dive as deeply into pipes as I did cigars, I still partake from time to time for the experience.

I have about five currently, with my eye on one or two more. A couple of really nice custom looking cobs on Etsy are pulling me towards a purchase.

Not terribly long ago, P&C sent out an email advertising the Eriksen pipes. The keystones apparently offer a cooler, dryer smoke - though the pipe can be smoked without using the stones..

At $30, it's not a terrible gamble. Just not sure how long a bag of the stones lasts. Those run $10 a bag..though if it turns out to be a 6-12 month investment then that's minimal, and considering I don't smoke a pipe that often and rotate through the few I have, it would probably last longer than that. Also may be even more helpful if the rocks themselves could actually be washed/dried and reused.

So, has anyone tried one of these yet?
