I'd read good David Jones pipes and won this rusticated Poker last week. The wife snagged if from the mailbox and gave it to me this morning for Fathers Day.
1st impressions:
- Wow, it is much larger than I expected. I'm delighted as I like a beefy pipe. The fit & finish seem impeccable. This is very much like a JM Boswell Jumbo, but significantly less expensive.
- 1st smoke, some Boswell Blended Burley. The inside of the bowl appears to be finished and his ad advertises a treatment to not require break-in. Indeed, the first half-bowl smoke very well.
I'm very pleased and will have to get another David Jones. I see two smaller pipes just went off Ebay for less than $60.
If you like Boswell pipes, this maker will make you smile as well.
This dwarf's my Boswell freehand, which I thought was a large pipe
