My opinion on this topic as spurred debate between a number of people I know that smoke pipes. Though I have learned many friends and other acquitances agree with my position on pipe tobacco.
I have learned from my years of smoking an number of style or pipes & pipe tobacco's that certain tobacco's & pipes do not mix very well with each other.
Yes that does mean that certain types of pipe tobacco's in my opinion shouldn't be smoked in certain types of pipes. The best example of this when an individual smokes a heavy flavored pipe tobacco in a traditional English or Italian style pipes. These pipes are normally small and lighter then the more modern Danish freehands. Flavored (Danish) tobacco's burn hotter because of a much high moisture content. Traditional pipes being smaller do not distribute heat as well as the commonly larger bowled freehands. Since most flavored pipe tobacco's are based from Danish styles where more freehands pipe makers come from. Heavily flavored tobacco's will normally smoke much better in Danish freehands.
In Vice Versa, traditonal English blend pipe tobacco's that do not burn as hot will smoke better in the smaller English & Italian style pipes.
If you have never tried this with your pipes. Give it a try since most people agree with my point of view.
Though this way of smoking is not true with every type of pipe & pipe tobacco. So its always best to try a pipe tobacco out in every pipe to see how well its smokes in each one.
