Did a little low calorie snacking, and am almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. Spent time playing traffic cop with three ferals. Daisy the Feral Princess is the easiest one to deal with when it comes to food.

How does that beauty smoke temperature-wise? @OzPiper
The double walls make for a cool smoke - just warm to the touch.
It is quite a heavy pipe for its size. So definitely one to hold in hand.
I clean the chamber out with moist kitchen paper towels after each smoke and can get it almost completely back to bare porcelain.
It is a very neutral pipe - just pure tobacco flavour.

The Frankenclay was bought new and has only been smoked on 2 previous occasions. So the chamber walls are not fully carbonised.
I can definitely taste clay on top of the tobacco flavours
Cube cutting the flakes delivers a very slow smoke - just under an hour for that small sized bowl

The ivory pipe smoked a lot better than my memories of it.
Because of its very poor drilling moisture and gurgling is the main complaint.
I will use meer chips at the bottom of the bowl in future.
It was the coolest of the 3 pipes in hand - barely warm.
I put it down to the deep carved surface of the bowl.
