I currently have 4 Cavicchi's, 2 Savinelli's and a single Tinsky......but I am looking at a Jacono today. Apparently I like the Italian style. Ever hear anything good or bad about the Jacono?

Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate the discussion and various opinions. I do hate the dreaded goopy mess of some of the really wet blends and I do avoid them like the plague. The ones I got from LJ Perretti and 4 Noggins do not have that problem. I enjoy the smoking experience for...

Drums and Beer, I just received LJ Perretti #432 and Coffee. Also purchased 4noggins Three Blind Moose and Thomas Blend. Have not tried the Coffee blend yet, but the other 3 I will be ordering more for sure. Thanks for the input on my aro question. B

I am a neophyte smoker, but I do like the aros better than traditional tobaccys. Just wondering why they seem to be somewhat disrespected in the pipe world? I certainly appreciate the forum and all the advice I have found on this site. I found 4 new blends that I really like and it is totally...

Your pipes and photography are simply incredible! I really love the rhodesian....is it sold?

Thanks for the info fellas. That helps my decision and what to do with my cash.

Thanks Winslow, I finally had the chance to try this and would agree with your assessment. I am not raving, but will continue to enjoy what I have left.

I think it is fair to say that currently I am studying this forum and quite busy reading a billion posts. So much to learn, so little tobacco in my cellar.

I write and do photography for an off-road publication called Dust Magazine. It is a magazine dedicated to off-road motorcycle racing published in So. Cal...last year I covered about 5 races for them and had around 30 photos published with some of my writing as well. Does that count? Brant

Very very helpful links. Thanks for the information!

I am too new to smoking to know about mixing tobac types in the same pipe. I now own 6 pipes and am curious about "dedicating" pipes to specific tobacco? Should I avoid mixing it up or is it safe to use multi tobacco in the same pipe? :?:

I love a place that is kind to the new folks. So many questions and a bunch of nice people to answer them.
