My New Neerup

I purchased a Neerup classic sandblast from 4noggins earlier this month, as a birthday present to myself. I just recently got around to smoking it. What a great smoking pipe! I've smoked both Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake (cube cut) and H&H Anniversary Kake out of it. The smoke stayed cool, the draw felt effortless. I only needed the 1 relight on the PS LNF.
The taste hasn't been great, but I'm not worried. Once seasoned, I'm sure this pipe will be my best smoker. Do any of you have experience with Neerups, or other pipes (that won't break the bank) that are great smokers? I paid around $90 for this pipe

Shayde,
From what I've seen, Neerup doesn't really have the "classic" pipe look. It's more of a freehand, giant type of pipe line. When I bought my first pipe almost 2yrs ago, I probably wouldn't have even considered the Neerup that I just bought.
the neerup I have has a deep chamber, really thick walls, and is a sitter. I really like the grain on it, it's got a great feel in my hand, and it's a lot lighter than it looks. The tenon fits perfectly into the shank (not too tight, not too loose). It passes a pipe cleaner easily when assembled (just might need a twist on the cleaner).
After starting this thread, I was just browsing through more Neerup pipes. hadn't found any that I liked for my price range. and of course, started wandering into other pipes. And 2hrs, gone! just like that.
I'm satisfied with my current pipe collection, so it will (read: should) be awhile before my next pipe purchase. But, when I'm ready for another, Neerup might be the first pipe line I check

Voorhees, the shank on yours is definitely thicker than mine. What a great lookin pipe! mso, I was a little apprehensive about the size of the shank on mine, but decided to take a chance on it.
