Watching some morning Prem League soccer and enjoying a small bowl of Luxury Bullseye Flake in this Doctor's Bamboozled Billiard:

If you find Dark Plug easier to keep lit than Dark Flake I will pay you monies for your wizardry. It’s still worth the hassle as it is unique, strong, and deep.

Darn! I was hoping Dark Plug would be a little easier to keep lit than Dark Flake since the other Gawith plugs I've tried (Cannon Plug and Bosun Plug) were much drier than Gawith flakes usually tend to be and lit easily with no dry time required when the plug was sliced thin and rubbed out to a fine ribbon cut consistency. I'll still give Dark Plug a try anyway though and report back with my findings. puffy

Well the wind kept blowing my matches out but I managed to get through a bowl of Abingdon in a GBD Virgin Colossus taper billiard ('60s or '70s manufacture I'm guessing); other than the domed top on the GBD, this pipe is identical to a Dunhill ODA #835). And for those interested in such things, in 1976 or "77 I was in a meeting with Doug Lumsden, the Comoy's rep for the mid-west, and he stated that GBDs and Comoy's were all made in the same factory...one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. I can't personally attest to this, but that's the story.
