[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 121956"] Echoing PeeDee here that GLP has written a lot on the idepsyncracies of matches made in heaven between a specific pipe and a specific tobacco. Well worth reading through his Briar & Leaf Chronicles (and other stuff), IMO. Bottom line : when it happens, you KNOW. I'd also echo PeeDee's observations except to note that the old, little traditional shape Petersons I'm fond of (apples, bent bulldogs, bulldogs & billiards) just love deep Virginias like FVF, and that no pipe I've ever had that's less than 30-40 years old has ever equalled one that is. Not that everything old is good, period (NOT true). But that the age and use itself are a key element. They needn't be famous names, by any means -- many of the second tier pipes like Bewlays, Drury Lanes and the rest were made by outfits like Barling and Comoy. Name doesn't matter much. FWIW :face: [/QUOTE]
