[QUOTE="dean73, post: 46609, member: 488"] Hello Gentelmen, It has been a while since I have posted, but I have finally made it back. I found a little tabacco shop in Tokyo. Nice hole in the wall place. They have some nice pipes and a little bit of tabacco. I was finally able to pick up some Frog Morton. I also picked up a tin of Dunhill's London Mixture. They had 3 Nuns and some Mac Barren Navy Mixture, but no Navy Flake. I have heard of a couple of other tabacco shops around town, but I have not had a chance to go out and explore yet. (1 year old son = no time) Now to the question: I have smoked 3 or 4 bowls of the Frog and it has been so so. I am patient because I used to use the same pipe for Boswell's Best and I think it took a while to get the taste of BB out of the pipe. (It was always in the background.) Today I was getting near the end of the bowl and the magic moment happened. Maybe I hit a concentration of latakia...I am not sure, but the flavor changed and I could taste a almost salty- woodsy flavor. I was great. This was after the pipe had sat for a few minutes and I relit it. So, the question is was it because the tabacco was a little drier that it taste better? Should I let my tin air out a bit? What do you guys think? Dean [/QUOTE]
