Ok, that made me giggle...a lot.

You know it is funny that you say this- I thought about the same thing last week -why don't more pipe tobaccos use mint or bay or rosemary or pine or smoke fat even? It just seems to me that we could at least have a wild variability here, don't you? B

I have a Savinelli CW that I received with a slightly twisted stem and I was told that this was common, given the length of the rod, anyone else have this problem? B

...but as my featherweight has the same problem, I thought it might be a general problem with the style? B

Aaron - it isn't just you, by the way, I have a little Stanwell 243 featherweight and the stem is very loose on this one too.. Just FYI. B

Hey, thanks for the explanation - this was very helpful... Seems that this is a really good argument for clean estate pipes; I love a beautiful smooth pipe - and several of my first old ones (a Digby and a pipe marked "Edward's Virgin" and "France" on the shank) both have huge wood putty fills...

All - Should I then assume that if I have an "ebony" finish on a Peterson, that it probably has more putty than briar? I have a Cara series hanger that I purchased new recently (that tasted like ass until I ran 5or6 ounces of Everclear through it, by the by) - and it has a silver band with the...

Frump - you are welcome, isn't that stuff amazing? You should hear the rest of the disk - the dissonances and resolutions are so tight that it drives my speakers nuts - I gave a copy of he disk to a friend who said it drove his cat crazy, but I think he just didn't understand...very very...

I have been thinking about a filed pipe for awhile, I have been reticent to take my beloved Preben out in the mud and cold of TN - well, i just made a modest order from Byron Oost and saw that he had Peterson Kapet pipes for around 43 bucks, rusticated and in my opinion kind of ugly and rugged...

Thanks for the welcome - Just broke in a new Peterson Cara bent with some Butternut Burley; quite nice indeed. I am still looking for a particular tobacco, and I am hoping ya'll will be able to point me in the right direction - but I will bring that up in a different discussion! Thanks again...

Hey all, Been lurking for awhile, wanted to check in and thank you gentlemen for all of the great information and recommendations. As the cold sets in here in Tennessee, I look forward to wrapping up on the porch and enjoying a warm smoke and the curling scent of a fine blend. Thanks again...
