[QUOTE="Ol'Dawg, post: 34958, member: 105"] Capt. Black can be a decent smoke and shouldn't be bitter and acrid with a long lingering after taste. My guess is that your inherited pipes need a good cleaning. The residue left in pipes from a burley based tobacco blend like Capt. Black tend to leave a bitter residue. Try giving your pipes a good inside cleaning (stem and shank) using grain alcohol, brandy, or rum with bristle and regular pipe cleaners until they come out clean. Then follow up with a dry pipe cleaner to remove any excess moisture and to make sure the pipes are clean. If the pipes don't smoke much better, try using a pipe cleaner dipped in Scope mouth wash to swab the inside of the stem and shank, followed by a dry cleaner. Jim..my ha'pence worth if that much. Edit--Forgot to mention to use caution with the alcohol and not get it on the outside finish of your pipes. Also to read the FAQ's mentioned by others about cake build up in the bowl of your pipes.
