Starting the morning at the outer banks with some Stokkebye 4th Gen. 1931 flake in a Savanelli Octogano straight paneled billiard.

Supposedly it's what Lee Van Cleef smoked.

The Sutliff CH Match is pretty good too. Not sure how close it is to the original.

The only ones I would worry about would be an aeromatic with a heavy topping.

None of those particular tobaccos should ghost your pipe.

Boswell's Countryside in a 2012 Nording Hunter.

Smoking some Edward G. Robinson's blend in my great grandfathers Dickens straight billard. I have seen this pipe in pictures of him, but he died in 1963 so I never met him. This pipe is at least from the 1930's because my grandfather was in the pictures prior to WWII. I am assuming it was a...

I miss the old Tinderbox stores... My brother still smokes North Sea religiously.

Thomasville NC here Welcome

I tried Prince Albert recently because my Great Grandfather smoked it. It's not the same as the original back in the day, can't be. It's got such a chemical taste to it it's almost like a cigarette. Smoke and smell lingers forever indoors. A couple hours later you can still smell it. Terrible.

Xikar makes a corona copy that works well.

I never detected a chem taste until I smoked predominately non-aromatics. When I went back and tried 1-Q it was different. I find 4-Q is more to my liking because more of the natural tobacco flavor comes through. The only aromatics I enjoy now have a light topping.

Watch City Cigar's 4-Q Same flavor, but no chemical taste. Doesn't overpower the tobacco flavor.

Right now, Scotty's Stonewall during the day. Squadron Leader in the evening.

Welcome. NC here also.

Welcome from NC.

Merry Xmas to all of you.

Is there any protective coating to rub into the wood on top of the bowl? Mine is starting to turn black on one side from lighting it.
