Nugatron- The pipe hits awesome, alot smoother then a glass pipe of the same size(b/c the orange o'sage is so dense much of the heat from lighting the bowl is disapated faster), and it's all natural so, imho i think anything nature provides is always better. The first bowl i smoked outta it a slight orange o'sage flavour was imparted upon it but hasn't been there since.
Mal- Thanks for the kind words brotha, good to see ya stop by a few of my threads:p. The orange o'sage is prized for heating homes and cooking naturally with, plus cuz of it's density like you said it burns real hot and burns for a long time, but its as heavy as a regular at a chinese buffet haha. But ya i hope it lasts a few generations, i have my initials carved into it and someday i hope to carve a son's initials into it next to mine when the time is right for him to get it, but i'll carve a few more by then. thanks for stoppin by. Homade pizza done in wild cherry wood stoked oven anyone? Take it easy man hope all is well for you and yours as well.:D
