I'm sitting here trying to find why some flavors are more evident than others. For the moment I have narrowed my queries down to one question. I started the thread because it is not a VA vs Burley, etc.
Question: Does an aro not come to the front on a new, non smoked, pipe?
Please forgive the simple newbieness of this, but up until this last year I have never owned more than three pipes at a time.
And example: Brand new pipe & Vanilla Cav. Misses out. Older pipe & Berry Nice H&H. Flavor immediately.

To me, any new briar pipe is sorely lacking in the flavor department, regardless of what tobacco is smoked in it.

Thanks to those jerks and their sales I have 8 Mark Twains, 2 Country Gents, a Little Devil, and more Rob Roys than Carter's got liver pills. :oops:

All of my cobs came directly from Missouri Meerschaum because you can get most of their pipes unfinished, but I do have a lot of them.

I notice the new pipe flavor problem more with pipes that come pre-coated, and only some of them. To me, more pipes than not do fine from the first bowl, but there are one out of eight or so that take an awfully long time to deliver full flavor. Nearly all do eventually; a few I've traded off because, as long as I kept them, they never did.

mso489: that's sort of what is happening, but it's taking longer to break them in at a bowl a day. Glad to have some broken in already
