That's a really cool looking pipe!
Do you find it a different smoke in the stubby vs a "traditional" size pipe?

Now having some McClelland No. 27 matured Virginia in my unfinshed Savinelli Series III.
Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

Smoked some Sutliff Crumble Kake English #1 in a Savinelli Trevi 320KS.
I really like it. It has a lot of tangy, sour oriental notes.
It will be on market in November. I might need to pick some up.

It's the closest one. A Savinelli Tundra Brownblast 315.
The tour was great! Also got to meet and chat with JimInks, Russ O, Karl MacAlister (SP?), and a few other members of other forums.
The pipe show was also great.

What? You mean that's not the extremely HTF, 5 Brothers flake?
Fixin to burn a few coins of Sweet Rum Twist in the gourd tonight.
My gourd is getting pretty gunked up inside. Anyone have any magic treatment to clean it out?
I was planning on bending a small bottle brush into a J and using Everclear as a solvent. Souns like a PIA tho...
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

No, that tobacco in the picture is from my last failed attempt to make a flake. No more trying to make a flake unless I decide to get a hydraulic press, and I don't know if I want to take it to that level.
Be careful using Everclear on that gourd - it might ruin it. I've not cleaned mine yet either, but it seems like it might damage it. I know it will ruin a Cherry wood pipe; dries it out so much it cracks and splits.

Well I considered just using rum too. That article mentions 'spirits' but doesn't go into any more detail.
What's wrong with that flake? It looks just like G&H Louisana Flake. Can't be all that bad.
If I ever decided to make flake I'd weld up some bolt-together contraption so I could clamp it up and then 'stove' (lol) it in the oven while it's under pressure. It's not something I plan on doing tho. There are so many wonderful flakes out there already that I can't see the point... that and I already have decent stockpiles of all my favorites so why re-invent the wheel? I don't even have the time to try the ones that are already out there.
