    Success!

    Congratulations, Twiggy! Good luck with your continued progress. It's good to hear you already managing expectations for the next round to go more slowly than this round did. That kind of stuff can get in to a person's head and reverse the progress if you don't have a realistic approach. Keep on...

    Dizzy Pipe Prices

    You can also look in to European factory pipes. They start between $50-$100 and all in that range that I own are quality smokers and look pretty darn nice to boot. Ropp, Savinelli, Chacom, Bruyere St Claude, and Stanwell to name a few.

    Favorite Nougat, Caramel, or Chocolate/Vanilla Aromatic?

    Sutliff's Molto Dolce is up there in as sweet as I've ever sampled while still maintaining fairly high reviews.

    The BBB Shape I was looking forward to Get

    Congratulations! I have an estate BBB in a similar shape but the chamber is a bit deeper. Makes for a phenomenal Va smoker!

    Pronunciation of Pipe-things

    The two I've just accepted I likely won't get right are latakia and cavendish.

    Keeping open tins fresh

    I have similar smoking habits to you, balindamood. I average about 8 bowls a week and have 4 tins open. I just keep smoking right outta the open tins (I put the lid back on, of course). I prefer my tobacco to be more on the dry side than I think the average pipe smoker, so perhaps this is why...

    Stanwell Pipe Finish Issue?

    Thanks all. Workman, I suppose I meant the wax. Used the wrong word. Haven’t ever used either product so I am an amateur on the issue!

    Stanwell Pipe Finish Issue?

    Thanks hawky454. I had a feeling it was just a cosmetic thing, glad to hear others believe the same. I agree on your choice moving forward. I have enough shiny pipes, could do with a bit of a change.
