My porcelain pipe is here! They taped every inch of the box and it's a good thing because the postman left it on my step in the rain.

Your porcelain pipe has a porcelain throne.

Another gorgeous tasteful pipe! Congratulations!!! I wonder if it's that much different in performance than a clay smoker...

Porcelain being less porous, should probably heat up and cool down faster. On the other hand, that pipe is probably double walled/hollow and may be cooler than a simple clay pipe. I hope it smokes well for you.

I'm thinking that the porcelain holds heat longer, and feels hotter to the touch. I have heard that porcelain pipe attributes can actually enhance the flavors of many pipe tobaccos in that a conduction heating process slowly cooks the tobaccos closer to the sides of the bowl, affording a nuttier toastier flavor profile that one would otherwise not get. Now I'm exciting myself into getting some porcelain pipes - they are so nice looking!!!

I don't know. I would like a clay pipe, the theory is that my great-great-great-grandmother's pipe is probably a clay.

I do believe it is double walled.

Yes, it is gorgeous, which is why I had to have it. Also, my grandmother really liked the blue delft/white color scheme and had a lot of it around the house while I was growing up, so it brings back very happy memories for me.

Hi Lady Margaret, Good Day to you. I was wondering about the porcelain pipe and how it smoked. I know the old Zenith pipes were double walled and helped cool the smoke. I wanted to compare it to meerschaum which of course is porous but anyhow thanks in advance! |

the pipe IS double walled and it smokes well. the inside isn't finished so it is porous. i haven't really compared it to a meerschaum, but i would expect it to be similar. will have to compare them at the smoking lounge on Tuesday

When I started I was interested in a clay like the one in my great3x-grandma's portrait. Still wouldn't mind picking one up. I am kind of interested in clays for the novelty factor.
