About half way through this bowl of Peretti’s Cuban Mixture in an old grain relief, partly smooth full bend "V" shape bowl Ben Wade Prominence freehand with the letter A and the numeral 2 in circles, with a black vulcanite ferrule and stem.
Now far from finishing this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.
Maybe it's a Savinelli thing. :p I tried a bowl of Louisana Flake in my little Sav 313 a while back... just awful. Pepper and perfume was all I got. I struggled with it for a while and finally gave up and dumped it out. In the little pipe's defense, the LF was more wet than I usually smoke it and somewhat rubbed out whereas I prefer this one as stuffed flake.
Had a bowl of Nightcap in a small Peterson yesterday. It's been a while since I smoked this baccy which made it taste all the better.
Just finished smoking MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with an amber colored stem. A bottle of Mist Twst is my drink.
The main issue with mine I think is the chamber diameter...something about this pipe just hates flakes. Rubbed out they fare better, but I'm a flake stuffer ususlly.
Also I've been smoking a lot of VA and burley blends lately....I think my taste buds are tired of them. I just lit up a small bowl of Grasmere flake on lunch, and it even tasted a bit bland....when Lakeland snot starts tasting meh, you know you're in trouble.
Time to up the latakia I'm rekkon

That's true. Lakeland ought to taste revolting like it normally does. :D :D

Either that or time to take a break. I find when it all starts tasting the same I've overdone it and need to take a week off. That first bowl afterwards just tastes so good :pipe:
DE 7th Avenue Blonde in a dirty corncob
Some Peterson's Connoisseurs Choice in a bent beater, and some Gatlinburlier Valley Virginia in a 1986 Italian pipe.....

I've been smoking all day, but every time I post, I get an error message. Gonna take a couple days off here and see if the problem straightens out. This happens on a semi-regular basis and I hope somebody will look into it.
