A nice rope pipe
By some reason my al pascia, similar to the one in the link, only smokes well with ropes, or perhaps some GH - Dark plug. These tobaccos do smoke well with most pipes though, very cool and slow.
As there are schematics, I do wonder, are there any reasons why it should not perform well with a more hotter VA, or burley for that matter ?
It gets VERY hot smoking even full virginia flake (that burns fine in my other pipes)
(it has gotten alot better when the cake has built up, but still...)

My Stanwell smokes everything red hot except burleys. So I only smoke Burleys in it! I can't make sense out of it so I just go with the flow.

With 120+ pipes under my belt (yeah, big belt) I have only had a few pipes that smoked hot - like really hot. Two of them are Kriswill pipes with their notorious thin walls. The other is an old noname thing. So far I haven't found a single blend they will accept without going eyebrow searing hot. Common for all three is that they are previously unsmoked, so some TLC (and cake) will without a doubt settle them down.
Keep at it.
