D&R Three Sails in the Peterson Pub pipe and the Vauen Olaf bent egg ... I don't know if I will buy this tobacco again. While it appears dry as dust and is a fine shag cut, it smokes wet and clogs the draft hole and shank and stem. I find I have to clean the pipes more frequently as the tars build up faster. It tastes good ... just seems awfully messy and wet. I'll have to read up on it and see if I'm doing something wrong.

I need to modify my above post because just before packing the Fantail I remembered my new Marxman which has only had a couple of smokes so far. The bowl is really big frankly, bigger than I would usually smoke but it’s such a lovely pipe and in great condition and beautiful grain with just a couple of tiny fills. I have no idea of the date on this but there’s a little crosshatched circle on the stem but most importantly of all it smokes like a dream. Filled with MacB Golden Extra at the moment and going down nicely with a very smokey Aerstone Land Cask single malt. image.jpgimage.jpg
