To me, definitely not an apple. Wider and more open at the top than an apple.

Marlin Flake in a Moretti Magnum.

Yeh, the patent represents an older pipe. Ones I have are good smokers. I think they benefit from just, number one, the briar being above ground over fifty years now, a better work ethic then which resulted in a better made pipe, Algerian briar, and possibly oil curing.  I think oil curing has...

To me, a new pipe starts to lose some it's edge in 6-10 smokes. I don't think a pipe begins to show it's full potential until at least 40-50 smokes, and keeps getting better, if it is a decent pipe. A pipe with poorly cured briar, or just poorly made may never smoke really well. Aromatics and PG...

FVF in an Astley Square Paneled Billiard.

Solani 660 in a Pietenpauw Lovat.

St. James Flake in an Upshall P grade.

Dark Flake Unscented in a GBD Oom Paul.

GH Dark Birdseye in a grp4 Dunhill Shell Rhodesian.

Billy Budd is a good one, made for the late Sailorman Jack. He used to add even more cigar leaf to it. GH Dark Flake Unscented is a good one also. GH uses a lot of African and Indian tobacco which imparts the cigarish taste to a blend.

Old Gowrie in a von Erck.

Google Ivy Ryan and Charatan. Quite a lengthy history of Charatan.

SG BBF in a Charatan Bulldog.

Astleys #44 in an Astley Bulldog.

Solani 660 in a Kurt Huhn.

Have ridden it at least a dozen times. No longer make it a point to go there though. Just too many idiots on the road. Many better roads to ride in the area. I agree, 129 South of the Dragon is a much better ride, as is, I think, 28 to the West of Deal's Gap.

Marlin Flake in a Castello 56.
