Experiment this afternoon. CS Old Toby in my Erica Pete System second XXL hand made with 22.5mmx52.5 mm chamber. I suspect they cut it down 3mm because of a pit at top of bowl thereby making it a second. The experiment was removing the army mount stem and substituting my Barontini 1/2 spigot 9mm stem to which i added a piece of silicone straw to thicken the stem. It worked well sitting at end of shank only going in halfway. It was air tight and secure as long as I didn't move too much. The 1/2 bowl of tobacco smoked cool and dry and all the way down to ash but it took almost an hour ... its a big bowl. The filter was shot and cannot be used for a second bowl. It did not effect the "system"

I just wanted to see if it would work and it did fairly well. As for the smoke ... you can't beat Old Toby in a Pete system ... second or not !
I may have to get a filtered pete house or pub pipe now or have a second stem made....

So we have the Syria-Lebanon campaign of 1941, the Balkan Crisis of 1875, and the English/British rule of the the colonial territories from the early 1600s to the late 1700s, all represented in one tin of tobacco named after the The King of England... I'd say you nailed the tribute smoke

Some 9 year old MacBaren Navy Flake in a Mauro Armellini bent billiard. I've been dreaming about this smoke all day. I had a long day of building stages and truss structures in the sun and it feels good to be out my boots and hard hat. This is the oldest tobacco I've ever smoked, and I gotta say, I'm digging it.
