For Christmas, one of my legal assistants gave me a pear wood pipe. I had to smoke it, of course, and I was determined to act like I enjoyed it.
This year marks fifty years I’ve smoked a pipe. In all that time, I’ve never enjoyed an easier smoke than my pear wood pipe using 9mm filters.
Pear wood is vastly superior to briar in two respects. My pipe tasted like a sweet pear for about three smokes while it broke in. Not even a Lee breaks in easier. Then after it’s broken in, a pear wood pipe smokes much cooler than briar, and is cooler to hold. You must try one, to appreciate how easy that pear breaks in, and how well it insulates.
My pear pipe came with one Vauen brand filter, and they work so well I bought a hundred for ten dollars. These are the best filters I’ve ever tried. They absolutely smooth the smoke and remove any bite, and trap moisture. About three smokes and you’ll need another one.
I don’t claim a pear wood 9mm filter pipe will be your best pipe.
But it might well be the easiest, coolest, mildest pipe you’ll ever smoke.
