    Thank you :). They are all nice smokers and even the Italian-made is a fantastic pipe.

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    The first smoke was great. Perfect draw and only a couple of relights with Quiet Nights. I think we have a winner!

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    I just received my first Castello today. It's a Sea Rock 12 KK with Carlo Scotti. Most Castellos are too big and heavy for me, but this one is just 36g and I love the rustication and the slender bit.

    Brigham Pipe Alteration

    Interesting mod. I have a Chinook billiard and I do find the draw a bit tight with the insert. I just smoke it without, but that sort of defeats the purpose. Maybe one day I'll look at something like this. mso489 they make some lines in Italy and others in France.

    No Pipe Collection is Complete Without at Least One (fill in blank) Brand Pipe..

    Brands I think are essential to my collection and of which I've either had, have or will have examples: Stanwell pipes are widely touted as the best "factory pipes", a title for which they would probably battle with Savinelli or Peterson, depending on who you're asking. If you ask me, the Danes...

    Dark Flake unscented

    I have started to like it after making my way very slowly through my first 2 oz. Those flakes sure look pretty!

    My First Oom Paul

    That is a looker. I like the look of Oom Pauls, although they don't work very well for me to smoke. I smoke in a relatively reclined position a lot of the time, so full bent pipes tend to hit my chest/neck. Especially in the colder months when bulkier clothing is required :-)

    Crazy Canadian Border Fees

    The more we talk about this issue online, the higher up the Google rankings it goes and the more likely that any officials searching for vendors and discussions of this will become more informed. My suggestion is to keep any advice on that front to private messages or emails. Since this site...

    I'm smoking it as I type and I agree, it's worth getting.

    Bad Peterson Pipes - From Where?

    I haven't had much success with Peterson, so I no longer buy them, despite having a soft spot for their shapes and heritage. I don't know if it's a quality control issue, user error or just plain bad luck, but after going one for five with Petes, I'm happy purchasing other brands. I know they...

    I guess that's understandable :) I'm looking forward to the event. It should be a good time.
