>>2194595The confusing part is that my previous churchwarden (identical model) didn't have any issue with the same tobacco. So the only difference has to be the fitment, because the design inside and out is the same (allowing for some variance since they are handmade). I should get my old one re-stemmed, it was only the tenon that snapped.
Also, I recently discovered that Butz-Choquin is kill. Sad, almost made it to 150 years in business. I have a gourd calabash of theirs and it's by far my favorite pipe.
