    Washington DC

    Georgetown tobacco is a nice place to visit... But the old Virginia tobacco company store in pentagon city mall (on the yellow line) is the place I visit daily.... Great crew and the discussions are usually lively James

    Miami shops

    Zack thanks .. that's the one I found and intended to visit.... my hotel isn't far from there....I don't mind going to cigar shops, but as mentioned above, vap shops don't really attract me at all... the B&Ms gotta make their profit also.... and pipe friendly cigar shops are right up my alley...

    High Grade Pipe with Filter...Will It Smoke Well Without It?

    It'll smoke fine without out the filter... if the price is right just think of it as a S. Bang reverse calabash ... I have several pipes made for 9mm filters that I just leave the filters out of.. they smoke as good as my non filtered pipes and my RC pipes... you can use an adaptor if desired...

    Feedback on Vauen Pipes

    I own three vauen pipes.. And enjoy them all.. Personally they are one of my favorite factory pipes. And yes although all the ones I own are made for filters, I simply just leave them out. Mine include the Strauss set, a church warden and a billiard ... James

    An Off-center Draught Hole?

    Get some rolling papers... Roll one into a ball and place it in the bottom of the bowl.. It'll absorb the juices... I'm a wet smoker anyway...so it doesn't matter for me.. Off center drilling isn't that big of a deal James
