I would say probably none whatsoever from the porcelain. If any, it would be from the internals that were gunked up for 100 years; I have a Royal Copenhagen porcelain pipe designed by Jørn Micke that might be the most neutral pipe I have. I believe @OzPiper who also has a Royal Copenhagen might have the same opinion.

Porcelain is THE most neutral pipe material, in my experience.
The bowls wipe back to bare porcelain easily with moist, scrunched up kitchen paper towels
Clay can have a "clay-ey" taste when new.
As can virginal meerschaum.

How is the Black Locust? I haven’t cracked one yet.

After a long day in the big city and several cigars lost to a series of small fires while doing all the driving today, i'm happy to be back in the lounge with my whisky and pipes. Pouring a dram o Johnnie Walker 15 after finishing off my bottle of Compass Box Story of The Spaniard (which is excellent). And for the leaf accompaniment...Hu Aus Dem Krater in a CAO.

GH Rich Spring Dew in a Molina. Very nice, much softer than I was expecting. A very unique and pleasant light lakeland.

Smoking some Three Sails in a MM Iconic Pony, wondering if I'll ever figure out how tight to pack this tobacco.

As I tight as I can pack without sticking my finger in chamber, and still have a draw has been working well for me with the D&R shags.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am off to the studio with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Cracked open some 2023 Cringle Flake in a Tom Eltang poker for this evening’s chilly Doberman walk. The first 1/3 of the bowl was uneventful then somehow turned into the best VaPer I’ve smoked in 6 months. Maybe there is a Santa.

Thanks for the tip!

I've seen where you added perique to some blends so I thought I'd give it a go. Currently smoking some Windsail Silver +P (aprox 50/50) and it's pretty tasty.

+P is always good
