The pipe came in today and I've put my first bowl of Black Irish Twist thru it. The tobacco is still a little moist but this Peterson's Supreme handled it as tho it was born to it. One relight was all that was needed to get a dark grey ash to the bottom. I was a little leary of the straight bit but it is as thin as any I've encountered and the draw is free and open.
I don't think I could have spent the $110 I gave for it any better.
