back in the day when I was a pipe smoker I purhcased most my pipes "Dr. Grabow" brand and these were briar...I still have one of my merchaum pipes and a decorative porcelin bowl from Germany..

I would find it hard to think balsa would hold up to a constant lit char of tobacco..I do think the balsa was used as a filter in some pipe makes though

I have 7-8 pipes all but one (the long bent one pictured) are Medico brand

filtered pipes. My dad always smoked filtered pipes and I learned from him.

Most of the moisture from pipe smoking comes from your mouth. So a pipe

is a personal thing. I cannot believe people actually buy and smoke used

pipes. I can buy a month's supply of pipe tobacco for less than twenty

bucks. I have never burned holes in my clothes from smoking tobacco in

my pipes. That stuff smoked in pipes that has seeds that pop will burn

holes in your clothes:rolleyes: The long stemmed bent pipe was a gift for

being best man in a friends wedding in the early 70's so I have had it for

a long time.
