[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 326817, member: 1969"] Todd Harris surprised me with an interesting pipe, one he didn't intend to sell because he was experimenting with a new rustication technique...he thought I'd love it, and he was right. My mainstay at the point was Union Square, but after a couple of weeks of daily smokes, running the stuff through the new pipe, I wanted a change. It was about that time Embarcadero came into my life. The first bowl threw me because of how good it was. Todd's pipes smoke like no other, but I was a lucky sumb!tch twice. Through legend and personal experience later on, Embarcadero was found to be a tricky leaf. Aside from not being right for every pipe, Princess 'Barc requires much care, ritual and cleanliness, the latter being what made the just broken-in Harris briar such a perfect match. That pipe, plus one meerschaum I reserve just for Star of the East, are the only two I dedicate to any single tobacco (rather than subgenres, which is my norm). That's because they can, every time, replicate a 9+ smoke on a scale of 1-10. So much to that end, I worry sometimes I've opened Pandora's Box, and I can never go back to lesser-than smokes. They're out there, [i]that good[/i] of pipe/leaf combinations, words cannot describe. 8) [/QUOTE]
