I can't say I've been too particular as the pipe and tobacco pairing.Although,if I'm trying
something new that contains Latakia and or a pronounced Perique then I grab a cob.Since
most of what I smoke is aro's,I've noticed that if I use a 3/4 bent in tends to gurgle more.
I have one slight bent,a Brigham brandy pot,that doesn't have too many problems with gurgling.
And with the rest all straight,I have minimal issues.So,I think I'll just keep on enjoying the smoke
and just single out a pipe or two for the lat bombs.I don't think I'll be trying any more Lakeland blends.
Just not my cup of tea.
