Finally decided to smoke the smooth bowl but as I suspected, it's size and lack of texture isn't really enjoyable. Definitely getting relegated to the beater pile.

HU Makhuwa in an Asteriou. I wanted to try this and Director’s Cut and I now understand the hype around HU, very well blended, however, they are not repeat buys for me.
Still rain free and an empty house after the walk so I'm packing another bowl! Black House (thanks @abecox) in my Ropp Stout Pot.
Enjoying some post Christmas Smoky Hideout time with my friend Axel. He’s smoking some 24 Cringle, while I’m enjoying some 2012 Presbyterian Mixture in a Peterson sitter.
Changed the oil on the commuter with a cob full of 5Bros
HU Janneman Flake in a Stanwell saddle bit billiard from their Rondo series.
I am new to HU tobaccos, since they started shipping to the US. This is red and brown VAs with a bit of perique. Medium in taste and very much my style. A beautifully constructed long flake.

Going to have Gawith, Hogarth & Co. Whisky Twist in a small Forestier Bourgeois & Cie (F.B.C.) Freehand(?) with Natural Horn Stem—I’m not sure what this shape is—it’s sort of like an Aladdin on a ski? This company is probably better known for their watches now under the name Forestier & Cie, and of course, their leather clad Longchamp pipes (which I also collect and smoke).
50/50 Virginia Slices and Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson 20FB Silver Cap.
My Mixture 965 in a Savinelli 811. Bonus picture just cause it’s cool.
I really like the look of that Stanwell.
i understand your gripe but danged if that bowl won't color up nice
Maybe, but when I ordered this and it was sent to the wrong person, this bowl is tiny in comparison and lifeless by texture.
I only got an hour long smoke out of it as well. Possibly the only time it'll get smoked.
Enjoyed a short, but necessary snooze, and am just finishing this bowl of year 2020 Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced in a 1970s full bend straight grain rough top Savinelli Autograph 6 sitter with a cumberland stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a long time. Gotta take a better photo of it.
You inspired me, I had some more Black House in my Viking Classic as my pot of Split Pea Soup doubles bubbles toils and troubles.
Now smoking year 2016 Peter Heinrichs Special Curly in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Lumberman with a long shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded. This will get me to a late dinner. I need to get Trever to brand this for me some day.
Congrats, hope you enjoy it.
HU Director’s Cut in a Blatter Canadian
