If someone here has the VaPer version of 3 Nuns, give me some! It just ain’t one no more.

I only have/used Perl 9mm filters and am amazed you find an oily taste/smell to them. I detect nothing of the sort. Anyone else find differences in the various brands? (youtubes i've watched on this generally seem to be ever brand of charcoal filter is basically same same.) perhaps a contaminated box or batch of charcoal? very bad quality control if that happened before production/packaging!Sutliffe Match Sunrise on top and Lane 1-Q on bottom in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard with 9mm Peterson Charcoal Filter. The Peterson filters DO NOT alter the taste of the smoke IMHO like the Dr. Perl one's do slightly oily taste and smell.
Also my landscaper's weed trimmer left behind a 5" or so piece of bright orange fishing line that was straight and stiff ... its exactly the same width as a pipe cleaner and works like a charm clearing the draft hole if necessary. That's now part of my pipe kit I didn't know I needed but am happy to have!

I really like the new Dunhill bings with similar color, finish, and adornments. Pricey for a factory pipe! I’d love to tour their factory and compare it by touring some artisan workshops. How does this pipe smoke compared to the old Dunhills?
So far. Lately, all I can smoke is English/Balkan or Burley blends. I do love Va and VaPers but they tear me up.

5 year old Sutliff Va/Per Crumble Kake. Pipe is a lattice globe meer.
I noticed it over 3-4 50 &100 count boxes. Very slight but occasionally there. I don't mind but for the extra $2-3 I'll go with Peterson unless not available. I did notice the Peterson filters are only good for two bowls whereas Dr. perl can go three unless its really wet tobacco. So --- its a 50/50 toss up. Perl's are cheaper too.
My judgemental relatives have left. I considered waving goodbye, with a pipe in my teeth. But in the interest of family peace, I refrained. Am now sitting out in the shade, enjoying Presbyterian in the rusticated Brigham ahhh. THAT'S better.
The sutliff vaper is good
Just finished a bowl. She did really well with no complaints. Fit, finish, feel balance, button and draw were great. Didn't get hot and as a reformed cigarette smoker I can heat 1 up pretty fast. Id get another for sure.
Welcome back ! Great looking pipe!
Thanks. It smokes well. I reserve it for english blends.
Sutliff Balkan Sobranie 759 match in an Abe Herbaugh. What I’ve read is the tin note is quite similar to the original but once you smoke it, it’s different. Luckily, I haves tried the original and it’s a fine smoke for me!
Which one? The current production 3 Nuns is a Kentucky blend as far as I can tell.
