To answer your question directly, It does affect the taste, as you get down to the bowl. Plus, I haven't really cleaned my pipe out ever, so there's all kinds of tar & resin in there affecting the flavor.

Its still enjoyable, for me, down until it starts to "gurgle" in the pipe, and then I get whacked with a super bitter, nasty tar taste everytime.

Again, I'm just a smoking junkie.

Thanks for that. I used to smoke pipe many years ago. Everything you said made perfect sense. DUH on me! LOL. Would using a hemostat, pic above really work? How would you clip it without destroying the draw? Just nip the wrapper a bit and hope you don't burn your nose off? LOL. Just a thought. Roger.
