    Claudio Cavicchi

    I have five pipes from Claudio Cavicchi and they rank among my favorite pipes in my rotation. Yes, I have many Petersons, three Rad's, a few S. Bang pipes and many others but Cavicchi's rank higher than most and equal to my Rad's. It is said that Cavicchi has one of the best sources of briar...

    Getting light headed

    Do any of you get light headed from smoking some tobaccos while others do not bother you? I have always smoked high latikia blends. Recently I tried Cornell and Deihl's Tuggle Hall and retried Dunhill's My Mixture 965 and both made me light headed. Any thoughts?

    Radice Pipes

    I have two Radice pipes that I really like. I also have Savinelli, Ser Jacabo and Ferndowns. However, for the price my two Radices have all my other pipes beat. What is your experience with Radice pipes?
