I recently bought the Abe Herbaugh, Blasted Lovat sold by cds43 on the trading post. The pipe was shipped fast and was as described. Easy smooth transaction. Thanks Chris!

I have been smoking my bamboo on special occasions. It is truly a work of art and I treasure it. Just love the way it looks and feels. Its light, gorgeous and smokes as good as it looks! Got to save more money for another one now :D Thanks Yuriy!

That is crazy.... Hope for the best and I sent something to help... Thanks for posting this, I did not know...

Welcome fellow Canuck!

Funny you said that. Today I cracked open a Burley Nbr 4 can and the smoke is quite harsh which took me back. I had really great experience with the Solani barley blend, but hate to say it the C&D one needs some tuning. I will try to blend it with something else to try and smooth it out if...

I will second this recommendation. I too enjoy Hearth and Home blends especially the Louisiana Red which is very mild and wonderful to enjoy all day. Their samplers page is here: http://pipesandcigars.com/samplers.html One more recommendation from my end is if you are going to take up the hobby...

Too late! there is no turning back after stonehaven! You will become obsessed looking to find your next stonehaven stash!

Thanks.,.. I'ma fanatic in preventative maintenance... but I can tell you this.. When I travelled in Europe in the early 2000's I saw that the majority of the taxi's were E320's, the same W210 body style as mine. When I asked one of the taxi drivers if he was pleased with the car, he said to me...

its gas. The classic straight six.

I have managed to gather a neat collection of good smokers. Some smoke certain tobacco blends better than others but there is one that consistently stands out no matter what I throw at it. Its my Castello trademark straight billiard. Perfect size, brilliant taste and smoke quality every time.

You do rack on those miles ha? Mine is a 97.... the last 140 were done since I bought it in 2006...

Rookies :lol!: My E320 is turning 300 :)

Pipe tobacco only. Cigarettes smell funky to me.

Its very bad to run out of tobacco on a trip and its even worse running out in Saskatchewan! My mistake of course, I thought I had packed a bag of FVF for thr trip alonsige a small bag of balkan sasieni which so far is the only tobacco with Latakia that I barely enjoy smoking. I keep a small bag...
