Aged C&D Derringer in the aforementioned blasted Peterson 31 straight stemmed billiard std system pipe. My new acrylic stem doesn’t have the aluminum stinger that the original had and the draw is considerably improved.
BTW, I’ve ready the criticisms of Derringer as being cigarette like. It seems to me that most cigarette tobacco has been burley based, so this confuses me. Derringer is a mixture of dark to light virginias and to my mind is nuanced and subtle. This one of the,in my mind, most underrated blends out there. Try some!
