    Breaking in an Uncoated New Pipe

    Yep, true. Should have added, a "very well rubbed out" flake. Chunks of flakes invite too much lighter action.

    Breaking in an Uncoated New Pipe

    Ah, yes. Patience is the ultimate virtue with any new pipe, but especially an uncoated bowl. Half bowls are a must for maybe 10 times. A good Flake like HalOTheWynd is what I use. Not too hot a Flake. Do not try to light the dottle or you may burn the air hole.

    Zamora, yes, I was skeptical as well. With two years or more of age it is worthy the premium price. I do prefer the Small Batch Carolina Red Flake from C&D but can only get limited amounts every two years.

    Dan, based on your posts over the months, I tried an Old German clay with a 20×40 bowl size. I was very surprised how well it smoked. At 1/100th the cost of an artisan pipe, I am sold!
