Well late morning today my order arrived. My new Johs pipe, Capstan Blue flake, and LBF. I have been dying to try the Capstan and hadn't decided yet if I wanted this mew pipe for virginia or english. I was planning on several pipes today(my day off), but had more to do than I realized and that ended up not happening. I decided that I was gonna make it count. Try my new Johs and Capstan at once. I just but the bullet and decided it was destined for Virginias and cube cut some before I ran to the store so it could dry a little. Well when I got back I went to sit and watch the smoker for a bit and try my new acquisitions. I was amazed at the flavors in this tobacco, and the pipe is going to make a fantastic smoker. I can tell it's going to break in very quickly. Smoked cool from the start and is just perfect. A nice large bowl, and surprisingly lightweight. Perfect length and the 1/8th bent is spot on what I wanted. I can't wait to fire it up again!

Really the only point i get particular on is I don't like Perique in my straight virginia pipes. And obviously latakia in any pipe that smokes something without latakia. I smoke mostly English and Virginia/vaper. The occasional aromatic to please the wife, but I've never tried a Balkan blend yet. One of these days I'll have to pick one up. I'll just threadjack my own thread, Roth any Balkan suggestions?

Great looking pipe and glad to hear you enjoyed the Capstan. Nothing like pairing a pipe with a blend and loving them both right off the bat. Good stuff.

If this Capstan cost a little less I would designate this pipe entirely to Capstan Blue. I really like it, it's just fairly high.
