Do you have a pipe that you just can't seem to like no matter what? I do! It's this homely little Kaywoodie "Ruf-Tone" bent Dublin w/stinger.
No matter what I smoke in it, or how I smoke it, it just doesn't smoke very well at all. I've had it for years, and have managed a couple of decent smokes with it, usually something like Carter Hall or Half & Half, but that's about it.
I can't bring myself to get rid of it though, as it was one of my first pipes, and a gift from my wife.
I'll probably keep it until the day I die, and I probably wont give up on it
, as I really want to like it.
It's light weight, and comfortable, but the damn thing always smokes on the hot side and gurgles something awful!
Maybe one day it'll turn out to be a decent smoker. I remember Foggy said he has one that took something like 40 years to come around, maybe this one wont take that long!
