OJK puts out a good amount I find.
Sorry, I just twigged to OJK. I'm a bit slow on some leaf because here in Oz there is a dearth of half decent leaf and we only get about half of what we order. Customs, don't cha know!

Some smokers prefer to only assist the pipe to smolder for hours producing only the slightest of detectable smoke exhaled.
Some smokers prefer cumulonimbus clouds of thick heavy smoke produced when they exhale.
Some smokers prefer somewhere in between these two.
It's all personal preference really.

I know my personal preferences change depending on mood,star alignment, temperature,gravitational fluctuations of the photon particles radiating from my backside and a few other variables. :)

Can you explain why you want to produce more smoke?
I enjoy producing more smoke on occasion because it brings me back to my days of smoking cigarettes. There isn't a lot I miss about them but, taking a big drag and expelling all of it after a long day is something I wish I still had. Satisfies that desire without picking up a pack.

ok gotcha.. just seemed odd to me as it's never something I thought anyone sought out.

Russ mentioned cigar leaf as building the volume of smoke, and black Cavendish, which can be made with burley or Virginia, I believe, also builds smoke. Individual blends sometimes happen to be smokier than others, blend by blend.

i like big cloud/smoke. but since i don't inhale with pipe, it seems pointless. with cigarettes, that exhale and cloud felt like draining day's stress and what not. but with pipe, no inhale, no exhale.

Gents, my rather 'odd' question has been answered. I was sitting out on the verandah the other night looking at the voluminous destruction of the bush fires here in Oz, when it came to me, that, it was not the leaf that is the issue in my search for a decent amount of smoke from my cobs. It has been the way I've been puffing. I guess the distress at the fires has seen me chuffing away on the pipe and paying no attention to the cadence of my puffing.
I'm now observing the sage and experienced advice I received (from here and other places) some time ago i.e. puff slow...and soft.
Problem solved.

So thanks for all the contributions, and am sorry I appeared such a dork posing that issue.
