Funny, this is PC/Russ O. Log Cabin, his wonderful Americana blend, in a Joby spot carved straight billiard, but the pipe just doesn't pull out the flavor like a cob or non-gloss finish pipe -- this Jobey does nicely with aros, but this blend isn't an aro. Not bad, but just not the blend I know it to be. An example of how blends and pipes can be paired, or not.
