Is it me, or maybe I am crazy but English tobacco taste better in my Petersons and Virginia's better in my Savinelli's. Please let me know I can not be the only one....

You’re the only one… of you. If you find that to be true, then true it is.
I prefer wide chamber for complex blends like English. To me, it's just better that way. Narrower chambers fo VA and related blends. Both Peterson and that other company makes ton of pipes. So, it's hard to say what sort of pipes you smoked without details like model number, width and depth of the chamber, celestial arrangement at the time of smoke, frog entails..
I have about 12 pipes of each. Petersons bowls tend to be little smaller in Depth and circumference than the Savinelli pipes. Maybe it's the 6mm balsa filter they use to help restrict the flow
100% this
I can't find any difference in flavors between pipes when smoking the same blend in them. Chased that notion for 3 decades before throwing in the towel.
Not a difference in flavor, more so how the flavor is more expressive in one vs the other. Again idk. Just something I noticed tonight.
Pipe smoking is subjective and unique to each smoker. Enjoy!
I find that airways diameter plays a more important role than chamber size, width or depth.Is it me, or maybe I am crazy but English tobacco taste better in my Petersons and Virginia's better in my Savinelli's. Please let me know I can not be the only one....
Different briar source or material (ie briar vs meerschaum vs clay vs cob, etc) may make a difference if the chamber is bare and not broken in. Once the pipe is broken in then its immaterial
Just my personal experience.
I find a wide range of flavour differences between pipes. As it happens, a Peterson Aran 80S seems to be king for English blends - for me. But a Peterson Prince for folded Virginia flakes. Etc. I'm not convinced that burn-in levels out the differences; my estate Dunhill and new-bought Invicta Briars both do a pretty good job on every blend, without being first choice for specifics.
YMMV, as they say.
