Aye it does cling to the tweed, I was looking for my Peterson pipe the other day and found it and some tobacco in the inside pocket of one of my vintage Argyll jackets. I'm sure the smell is there to stay, and I'm okay with that. Having said that I do love my circa 1930's Argyll in a herringbone tweed with leather buttons, the quality is far superior to what is out there today, if you don't mind picking out the occasional horse hair.

Some, but not many in my experience.

Love my Peterson!! It's an 03 (bent apple) in Kildare finish. It was a Christmas gift from my inlaws. Sadly, I tend not to smoke it very much except at Ren Faires because I tend to be overly paranoid of every chapped lip or potato-chip-cut in my mouth lately. My Bjarne bent billiard churchwarden is reserved for English and "Irish" (English with added cavendish like McClelland) tobaccos and my Peterson is for American-style aromatics.
