Cheers Everyone,
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and you are recovering from the turkey coma. I just had my first smoke with an vintage Butz Choquin that I picked up in a flea market last week. I was a beautiful smoke! The bowl size is quite smaller than my other pipe (cheapo no name briar), but its very deep. I packed in some Forte pieno tobacco that I picked up at a local shop her in Rome when I started smoking two weeks back. The bowl stayed remarkably cool and the draw was quite nice. The only problem I had was a wheezing sound when I took my puffs. I am attributing this the fact that I may have packed the tobacco to loose, still learning! Other than that small problem it keep a burn quite nice and I was able to have a good 30 minute smoke after dinner. I have seen many forum members praise BC and now
I can see why! This is most certainly my preferred pipe from now on!
Yllwbeard... Puff on!
