I have 3 a big freehand I have yet to smoke, a bIg Canadian, and a semi bent, he leaves his inside of the pipe rough, says coke will build up faster, they smoke really good, only fault I find on them he believes a small diameter hole smokes better, I wish my big Canadian would hold more tobbaco, other than that , a good pipe for the money, I have 2 Radices, tit for tat on both brands, I bought a short straight Lucanio, and I think for less money it's a better pipe IMHO the old cajun
