Same pipe, but burning a 1:1 blend of LC VaBur and LC Vanilla. The vabur stiffens up the vanilla a bit and provides some body, and the vanilla takes the edge off the vabur, smoothing out it's harshness.
Huh. Now wouldja look at that. Hang out on PSF long enough and even I can sound like a real pipeman! :D

OJK in the same nameless Italian.

[mention]Try Cob[/mention] .. Check out the Missouri Meerschaum hardwood pipes.. Cheap but effective.. They come in maple, cherry, hickory, etc. Also strawberry wood pipes are very good. Vermont freehand uses strawberry wood.
Cheers!

OJK in a Kaywoodie 39 "Dad" again

For some reason this particular set of pipes is giving especially good smokes this rotation. This Kaywwodie for example was always a grade "B" smoke in the past. It was good but not great. I had no regrets, but it was not all that impressive. This time around it has been rocking...
