Got a tin and am about ready to try it for the first time... What pipe should I use? One dedicated to burleys? Should it get it's own pipe? A new pipe or a seasoned pipe?

I think any pipe will do, as long it already doesn't have a ghost. If you are really concerned I would recommend a Cob or Meer until you can figure out what works with the flavor you get.

One that you are willing to smoke all the time, because that's how often you're gonna want to smoke it. I have 3 or 4 pipes I run it through. It is DAMN good stuff. Just placed an order that included another 100 gram tin.

Any pipe will do. I smoke it in all of mine.
The one drawback to the ready rubbed vs. the flake is the ready rubbed burns much faster. I rub the flake out into a shag but for some reason it burns slower than the ready rubbed.

Smokin it cube cut in a meer right now. Like it folded and stuffed in a cob, or rubbed out in a briar...

There are more methods to get tobacco in a pipe than I ever dreamed!

I smoke it in Lat pipes, but I'd also say you should try it in a cob first. Just to see what you think.

I generally use the fold n' stuff method for all my flakes/coins (although I do scrunch them up a bit after folding), but I might have to try rubbing it next time I smoke it, as I'd say it would do well with that method.

Pete:
What led you to choose "Latakia" pipes for ODF?
Not criticizing at all! Burley and latakia can be wonderful together. I'm just curious about the choice. (And now you have me wanting to try this combination!)

I rub it out then let it dry to a crisp. I have a bunch of the ready rubbed right now, I just pull out enough for about 6 bowls before bed and let it sit out all night, by morning its quite crisp, and ready to go for the day. I throw it in a sandwich bag and toss it in the car.

Continuing on the Lat pipe sub-topic, i bet it would be good in my morta, to which i have dedicated only english/lat blends. My SPC order is out for delivery as i type and includes another 100g tin (i am fresh out) of ODF. I am going to try that out in the next few days, as i thing it is a great idea and the morta, already ghosted with Lat, will provide an EXTRA peaty/smokey taste to the blend. Thanks for the words of wisdom, petes03!

For me, there's a definite underlying sweetness to ODF, which expresses itself best in a pipe with a narrow chamber. Also, ODF seems to burn hot if I use any packing technique other than folding/rolling and stuffing. Anyone else notice that?

No problem Layinpipe.

I normally am not so picky about which pipes I smoke Burley in, generally I just pick one. But Kentucky Dark Fired is a little different animal.
