JimEllis,
Nice! The fist one would have made a nice sitter I don't mean that is not a fine pipe as is, I like it. The other looks good and has a nice looking grain pattern I am sure it will be a nice pipe. Get that grain jumping out at you! Hope your having fun with it!

Red,
I don't particularly like bents so i have only smoked that one once. The second one i have smoked about 5 times and its a wonderful flake pipe. It doesn't get hot at all. The taste of the tobacco comes through. I do still taste the briar towards the end of the bowl but its not a bad taste.
it could be from the briar not having fully dried out but i am not sure.
