I recieved my order today from smoking pipes. I tried a bowl full in the Estate pipe that came with it. I liked it. aroma was very good, taste was pretty good, there is a citrus taste to it. It stayed lit, smoked good for the whole bowl. It was a very pleasant smoke. After it was done I could taste something like when I smoked cigars, but it wasn't strong. I'm not a tabacco expert, but it was good. Pipe smoked great, smoked cool and just a slight gurgle for a few puffs.
