I’m with yo Gregg on the volumnous combinations of pipe shapes and tobaccos. I feel that on any given day anything smokes great in a couple of Dad’s pipes. Dad quit smoking about 20 yrs ago and turned over some things to me. A couple of my favorite are two Wally Franks; a bulldog and a zulu/dublin shaped thing. Smoking that zulu as we speak!
