    The Holy Trinity - Recommendations

    Any of Rattray's Vapers, I am loving Old Gowrie right now. As it is summer I smoke Orlik Golden Slices weekly, Esoterica Brighton is my favorite all day smoke anytime of year.

    Brass Pipe Nail?

    There is a gentleman in Russia that I found on eBay. Nice weight, made of brass. He's improved it since I bought one last year the tamper now is a bit wider, not much but enough to help b I'll look for his contract info, pm me if interested. I will say shipping took like three weeks.

    Esoterica question

    I would say be mindful of any advice the local seller has for you. Last fall my local B&M had a big drop they kept in the back for their better customers.
