Very dry navy flake in the Pete Pub this morning with Arabica columbian coffee and cream on the side (back up brand until I restock my favorite coffee). I think I have discovered my preference regarding my favorite pipes ... while the Pub pipe is great ... I actually prefer the draft hole to be as close to dead center bottom as possible. My Vauen draft hole is to the side but pretty close or across from dead center while the Pub pipe is higher up on the side leaving a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the bowl beneath the draft hole. Its still a great smoke but not as 'perfect for me'. I'm not getting rid of it ever but I do notice the difference in the draw tension if that makes sense in any way. When I look at my favorite pipes they all seem to have this in common. Live and learn.
