I recall Lawrence once saying that of all the pipes he owns, his one Jobey is by far the worst smoker. Well, today I dusted off an old Jobey Stromboli, filled it with 4noggins' Button Bay, a blend which, in all my other pipes, has always given me a rich, flavourful, dry smoke, and lit up. Virtually no taste, and a horrible gurgle almost from the beginning.
I'm thinking it might be the screw-in tenon on this Stromboli, but whatever it was, it was not pleasant.
Anyone else smoke Jobeys, and, if so, what have been your impressions?
