Pipe Making

I  turned this pipe out of the worst briar block i have.
There are a few inclusions.
  

I had a spare P-Lip stem.

Wish i had of used a better block as i very happy with how this turned out.
It was more of  concept to see if the idea would work.
The briar stem is a tapered fit in to the bowl tight and sealed .
Loaded it with Bob's chocolate flake.
A nice strong full flavored tobacco.
Smoking well but it will get better when some cake has formed.
I have ordered some Church warden stems when they come i will make another. 

Tobacco samples

Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Chocolate Flake
This is a full flavored strong tobacco.
Just finished smoking it.
It has a mid to strong  nic hit
Full flavoured tobacco taste as far as  the chocolate goes its very faint.
But i have been smoking Macbaren Honey and Chocolate this week
its full on chocolate smell and taste.
Overall a robust smoke i will  get a tin it soon.
     

Samuel Gawith - Full Virginia Flake.
Nic i strong a bit to strong.
The flavour  is very full tobacco taste.
Not a tobacco i would buy.
Certainly the description sounds good and Gawith make some great tobacco's
but it's not for me.
I would like to thank Rufus for kindly sending me these samples.
