So far, I’m really enjoying it. But I have an issue keeping fine shag cut tobacco lit. I’m sure I’ll figure it out though.
If you like the blend, but have trouble smoking it, I believe Dark Flake and Dark Plug are the same tobaccos in different cuts. I prefer the flake, but all three are excellent.

Match Revelation, supposedly Einstein's favorite smoke, packed for soon in a Savinelli Oscar Lucite 315KS prince. FYI, the Oscar Lucite series is one of the Sav series not designed for use with a 6 mm filter (or any filter). The series seemed to be suspended for a year or so, or at least didn't seem to be imported, but I think it is now back in limited shapes. I've had mine for about eight years, and it is a great broad-bowled pipe useful for complex blends as well as other purposes. My wife complained that the room note on this blend was "stale," and since she rarely complains about pipe tobacco smoke, that's worth noting. I think it may be the topping, but it tastes pleasant.

That's funny, I've got the total opposite situation regarding that blend. Revelation Match is the only blend my teenage son has said anything positive about regarding room note, and he otherwise never has anything positive to say about my pipe smoking.
