I have an old (1938) estate Kaywoodie “Suntan” bent, stacked billiard “drinkless” pipe (Group 3 appx.) that I’ve been waiting to try.
I wanted to put something old school in it to smoke. I ordered a tin of DG and Edward G Robinson. I couldn’t resist opening the DG first.
The issue I’m having is, I’m not getting the rich flavour experience people mention when I smoke it. I do get some “perfume-like” notes along with old cloth bound books and pepper/leather. It feels “airy” as opposed to full and rich.
Has anyone had a better experience than I have? I’ve had 4 bowls of it so far. I’m just not feeling it. My only thought is I’m smoking it in the “wrong pipe.” Would a wider pot shape be better?
I‘m not blaming the pipe, btw
