The title says it all. Tell me about clay pipes if you´ve tried them. I´m new to pipe smoking, though I have smoked cigarettes for years. I´ve tried homemade cobs, a Dr. Grabow briar (my best smoking pipe), and crappy MM ozark hardwood pipes that are garbage. It seems to me that clay pipes would smoke wonderfully, and wouldn´t sour as fast as wood or cob pipes if you happen to smoke a number of bowls without cleaning. The obvious issue with clay pipes would be their fragility.
Am I correct in thinking that clay pipes smoke well, and do not sour as quick? Cobs smoke pretty good, but I do prefer my briar pipe. Unfortunately, I cannot afford a full rotation of briar pipes at the point (though that is the ultimate goal). Clay pipes are pretty cheap, are they decent smokers?
