Finally had to address a typo, "Individually"- while a word, don't think it fits here.
This evening I’m smoking Granger in a Four Star Lee Bulldog and a Ben Wade Preben Holm Golden Walnut Danish freehand.
Granger is delicious in both pipes but it tastes slightly different in each, or I think it does. I don’t mean cooler, but a slightly different flavor.
As an experiment I’ve filled a Lee Three Star Prince with Granger, and I think it tastes slightly different than the other two.
One explanation for this might be all three pipes have different bowl dimensions so the Granger is burning slightly different in all three, and that accounts for the subtle taste difference. In other words, it’s construction that causes different pipes to smoke differently.
Another way to explain this, is that each piece of briar is slightly different and imparts a different flavor, however slight, than any other piece of briar.
And, it could be the six inches between my ears that is the cause of why I think they taste differently.
I own close to a dozen medium Lee Three Star Billiards, all in excellent shape.
If I load up a few of those, will they taste differently?
Surely I’m not the only pipe smoker to have wondered, if each pipe has it’s own individual taste.
What are your thoughts on this smoldering issue?.
