I broke down and tried one of the tobacco shop aromatics I bought... I'm nearly positive that it is Altadis Bulk Maple Cavendish. It was better than the PA, but I had to smoke it quite hot to get much of the maple flavor which, inevitably, led to some bite. Still dryer in the mouth than I expected, though I could see condensation in the bit. Overall taste was similar to the PA, but I could catch a hint of the maple in the after taste.

My cob pipe (Missouri Meerschaum Legend) has charred a bit after only 3 lightings with a butane soft flame... is this normal, or could this be the source of some of the ashy taste I'm picking up?

Thanks again!
