Yes I've had those that I've had to smoke through before most notably in the Rossi Vittorias'. This though, was unbearable. The taste lingered in the mouth as well. Hopefully, I've removed enough to continue the break-in process unimpeded.Seems as though some of the makers put some nasty bowl coatings in their pipes. I've heard several members comment on the acrid taste. My Rossi was that way. Horrible experience. It went away after a few smokes. Hope yours does as well.
Happy Birthday!Well the bday isn’t until tomorrow but first smoking out of this 1967 (birth year) Dunhill 120 group 4, going with some of the older Wessex Dark Flake.
