    It's the Perique that gets me. I want to like it but it doesn't like me. Tends to rag my throat out a bit.

    I didn't know it was C&D ? I've tried their other blends but always walked away kinda disappointed. They seemed a little harsh like. I feel the same way with Mac B. Too sharp.

    MacB has a rep for burning. Never got a burn from OJK.

    I am very sensitive to bite. If it bites I try cellaring for a few years.

    The only blend I ever tossed was a Iwan Reiss Blue something. Was like acid.

    Isn't so much a burn I get from the Perique as much as it sort of closes up my throat. But I'm with ya on the burn.....no likey the burn. I may get a sample and try it . New Horizons !

    CD is known for dry product.

    Doesn't hurt to immediately jar a tin. There was a reported mold problem at one time. No recent reports, though.

    Alright Rolodave.....this why your a bad influence.You put an AD bug in my mind with your new pipe...so........
    New Pipe, a Rossi Lucca Author pipe and some old Tartan for it's inaugural smoke. Nice pipe. Big but not clumsy or very heavy. Always wanted an author and it's my first Italian pipe. Feels good in the hand and it's a good pointer for debating and such.

    Wow, just WOW!!!
    That is a beautiful piece. I don't have any authors. They look to fit the hand better than other shapes. The silver band really sets off the transition. That is one to be really proud to display. Congratulations!!!

    That will be a good honing pipe. Bowl would be out of the way of your loupe or scope. I have a few straight pipes but never smoke them.

    Now I will have to lust for a author. The rabbits are digging overtime.
