Gentlemen,
I just ordered my first Churchwarden (a Peterson Dublin shape). I was
wondering if you folks had recommendations as to what types of tobacco
work particularly well in the Churchwarden shape? I would think that
Virginias would smoke particularly nice and cool, but I also enjoy
VaPers/Latakia/Virginia-Burley/Burley so I am open to all suggestions.
Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance!
Churchwardens are among the 'tamers' of all tobaccos; similar to meerschaums, clays, genuine calabash pipes and corn cobs.
The length of the stem and/or shank of a churchwarden cools the smoke of any tobacco.
The material that the bowl is made from on the other hand, imparts it's own influence.
A clay churchwarden will give completely different results than a briar churchwarden or a churchwarden made with a meerschaum bowl, given the same tobacco.
Your question is actually a bit too general to allow for any kind of definitive answer.
Bert
