[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 12955, member: 3"] Tin is right, Stonehaven loves smaller pipes. A group 3 or 4 billiard with a nice open draw and it'll sing. I usually rub it out roughly, let it dry (pretty darn dry actually) and then do a modified Franck pack wherein I loosely slip some tobacco into the chamber while tapping on the sides of the bowl filling it about 2/3 full, and then ease a small plug into the top a'la the Franck method (you press the plug against the opposing bowl sides until it slips in. This way you have a tight little pack at the top and loose leaf underneath, works great for me, just don't get carried away with a too big plug at the top. Takes a while to get the hang of it but it smokes great). Stonehaven has a nice soft floral element to it, not from the topping (which is certainly there but burns off after a few) but from the burley. Like the burley in Barbary Coast, it is special beyond anything I've smoked in any other blend. [/QUOTE]
