| I won an Ebay auction last week and have an unsmoked Astley billiard coming from Coopersark. Anyone ever smoke one? I assume quality is similiar to a Dunhill or Chartan...or is it?

Obviously both!
Astleys was actually a famous tobacconist in London that was founded in 1862 at the famous 109 Jermyn Street, that had some of the premier pipe companies making pipes for them that included Charatan, James Upshall, Ashton, Comoy, etc. Astley's are prized acquisitions.
