    Cost vs. Quality….

    Bit of a rambling ponder on the quality of “quality” pipes… My meagre range includes; Peterson Dracula; love this pipe but it absolutely won’t pass a pipe cleaner and I’ve had to open the draught hole as the draw was overly tight. Savinelli Caramella; beautiful pipe but the stem is virtually...

    03:00 start at work this “morning” so currently looking at the world somewhat bleary eyed?‍? A (very) rare afternoon coffee along with a bowl of St Bruno RR in the Savinelli. Enjoy your weekend gang ?

    Another “mix”, this time some Grasmere Flake along with some Spirit of Scotland in the Dracula. Today I’ll try my first hot water flush of the Drac when I’m finished to see what all the hype’s about!

    Extremely High Tobacco Costs in Utah

    Now being a Scot I’ve nae interest in rounders? Just wondering how the Cons did in the Autumn rugby tests……. ?????? . ….and back on topic; that’s expensive for you! I think (and I could be talking pish) pipe tobacco tax in the UK is ≈£300/k + retail? Which I think is 80%+
