Cavicchi pies are a great pipe, I own 4. Thier quality is as good as Castello and better (imo) than any age Dunhill. You won't regret the purchase.
Try:Planta Davanish Black Vanilla, has to be one of the best Vanillas...smokes smooth and flavourfull till the bottom of the bowl with consistancy.
Personally I'm a S&G Full VA man, though all straight VA's get my vote.

As a foot note, US maker, Lee Von Erk makes a very fine smoking tool (oil cured). I have 2 of his and am never dissapointed in thier quality.
The Planta Davanish Black Vanilla is what I was talking about. I loved it. At least a am 90% sure thats what it is. Black lid and think bottom is a brass color. In a tin.
The guy that sold them stands behind them more than anything he sells in his store and he sells a little bit of everything I think. It will pass a pipe cleaner with no effort. If I ever get back to it I will try more "flavors."
