THE BRIAR PIPE | THE BRIAR PIPE | ||
By | By R. D. Field | ||
Over the years I’ve overheard and taken part in many discussions concerning the part played by grain (or the lack thereof) in the enjoyment of pipe smoking. Some have argued that grain plays the most important part in a pipe’s ability to convey the true taste of tobacco while also adding something to that taste; others (very much in the minority) have pooh-poohed this as being utter nonsense. I will attempt in this article, as far as my experience allows, to look upon the issue in all its facets. However I can not claim that I will be able to lead anyone to the definitive answer. | Over the years I’ve overheard and taken part in many discussions concerning the part played by grain (or the lack thereof) in the enjoyment of pipe smoking.
