Well this baby got here around noon and I am on my second bowl of Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug and it tastes great. This thing smokes itself practically. It is light and extremely comfortable for clenching. What is really makes this thing great is that there is absolutely not a hint of a gurgle, which is almost impossible here in 90 percent humidity here in Florida. I took the pipe out a few time when walking the dogs and it will not gurgle. There are only 2 other pipes in my collection that can say that, my new Rad Davis and my Former. To me this says, the pipe is drilled perfectly and that even adverse weather conditions cannot make it smoke wet. Now most of my pipes smoke nice and dry inside, but invariably when I take them outside, I will need a pipe cleaner once or twice. I am extremely happy with this purchase and will be on the look out for more. This is one of the best pipes I have ever smoked.
