    Viprati 2 Clover Freehand

    The style is what impressed me the most, the curvature of the briar reminded me of some older Charatan's.

    Not a fan either, as I like to clench.

    Matches exclusively, not wanting to burn the rim of the pipe, and yes, outside.

    Neerup Pipe Question

    I have 2 Neerups, both Rhodesian shape and they do a fine job. As has been mentioned, I would try different loading methods, the Frank method works well in a large bowl, good luck!

    Jim's C&D Steamworks (Small Batch) Review.

    While not an Oriental variant fan, this with the various Virginia's and St. James Perique could be interesting. Thanks for the review.

    1792 Flake by Samuel Gawith

    This is one I haven't tried in twenty years, and from what I remember is that it is unique. I may have to revisit, thanks for the reminder.

    Viprati

    No, something got in the way of breaking it in, so I'll just back up and regroup. I know it's waiting.
