Metal pipes often incorporate means of trapping moisture that can cool the smoke before it reaches the mouth. Some say this can reduce the "Bite" and make smoking more enjoyable. Kirsten and Falcon pipes are still in production and deliver an excellent smoke. Beware though, there are many different metal pipes out there, of varing styles and brands, and collecting them can be very addictive.
Metal pipes, though not commonly seen, have an advantage over other pipes.  They often incorporate means of trapping moisture/tar and cooling the smoke before it reaches the mouth. The greatly reduces the "Bite" and makes smoking more enjoyable. If you are having an issue with "bite" in your briar pipe, I highly reccomend you try a metal pipe.  Kirsten and Falcon pipes are still in production and deliver an excellent smoke. Beware though, there are many different metal pipes out there, of varing styles and brands, and collecting them can be very addictive.
