Next time, with any blend you like, smoke only a 1/4 of the chamber, and let it sit overnight. It can really change the character in some blends.

Love DGT. I'll sometimes load 2, even 3 pipes just to "stack up" some DGT's. Recently returned from an OOT trip & had a 3-week DGT from my last night .... wonderful. Seem to recall an old story about some hikers going up into the mountains, came upon an old, abandoned cabin. They felt it had been abandoned for about 6 years .... maybe an old newspaper? Anyway, inside with old tools & cookware & furniture, they found an old ashtray with an old pipe with about half a bowl. One of the hikers lit it & said it smoked fine. So .... a 6-year-old DGT.

Near the last third of this bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

L. J. Peretti’s Blend No. 333 in a cob. I tried this blend in a few briars previously, and this is a second smoke in a cob, and I find it tastes better in cobs. Gotta give another chance to Blend No. 101 now, as I’ve only had it in briar a couple of times thus far.

Mac Baren Plumcake in a La Rocca Due bent billiard. 9.2/10

[Smoking Pipe402]

Royal Yacht in a aldo velani billiard. Bought this pipe for dirt cheap on eBay a few years ago I swear it’s made of cardboard but it smokes like a dream.

GLP Union Square in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69.

Evening bowl of 2010 Night Train in a Bellezia freehand with antler shank.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am nearing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the Dodgers-D-Backs game.

 

[Bananacaravanadium]

Former’s Cross Grain Flake in a Roma 673 KS. First time a flake came to me completely stuck together. Had to break it all up but the tobacco is still pretty soft and first bowl is off to a lovely start.

Chenet’s cake in a Nuttens

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
