I have been a pipe man since the early 70s, and still cannot decide on the best material, I like and prefer steel. Manly because it's easiest to clean, but I recently received a teakwood pipe from Malaysia as a gift and I'm impressed !
This thing smokes sooo nice and is as hard as steel, you cant scratch it with a pocket knife, I tried. Never cared for wood before, always contaminated the smoke. Is there a North American hardwood equal to the quality of this, this very small pipe was very spendy, My friend is a Merchant Seaman, see him every 3-4yrs, the wife cooks him homecooked food, anyway that brings me to Glass, dont like it, they dont last...one trip into the woods, dogs tail brushs coffee table, BAM its broke....Soapstone....
Another nice material, only drawback, hard to clean. Try to scrape that with your knife, you just carve the bowl.
What do you think?
Did I miss any?
Okala hey patao....Trans.....Lets smoke awhile....
And remember " Some Dragons live forever ".....
