[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 410418, member: 3484"] That is one beautiful piece of briarwork. Having smoked both large and small briars for about 50 years my experience (and of course it is only my humble opinion based on that experience) is that you can't beat a good quality Oriental mixture in a pipe of this size. Blends such as Dunhill London Mixture, Durbar, Cornell and Diehl Star of the east or Mountain Camp, or Macbaren's HH Vintage Syrian all should deliver to you a tremendous nuance of various flavors. Especially being a bit of a wet smoker myself I usually stick with the above type mixtures then if the pipe gets a bit wet during the smoke I know it is probably my saliva to blame rather than a wet aromatic, but to each his own. Conversely, I find my smaller bowled pipes such as smaller bent bulldogs and billiards tend to deliver a nice smoke from any good Virginia flake such as Capstan, Dunhill or of course, Samuel Gawith Full Virginia flake. Whatever you load into that beauty should be a great experience. [/QUOTE]
