Ben, you have referred a couple of times to not being able to do Virginia's much and that this weekend the "VA's caught up with me."Brothers In Arms in an Asteriou chubby author with corian accent. FYI, after smoking CRFP ‘25 quite a bit this weekend the VAs caught up with me. I can definitely smoke it but not all day. Since I can’t smoke most VA forward blends at all, this is a big win. Highly recommended, great flavor, a medium nic hit.

I do have a 106 but it ain't no Punto Oro. That pipe is gorgeous brother.Thanks man, I know you have put some miles on a 106 yourself, such a classic Savinelli shape.

Looks like ya Dad left ya with a nice one. Happy Smokes brotherI helped a couple of neighbors rake and haul off leaves so I decided my creaky old back needed a break and out came my biggest bowl. Dad used to call this (probably late 60s or early 70s) Yorkshire his “Big McArthur” and it’s an apt nickname. I can get an inch and a half of my thumb into the chamber of this guy. I mixed a couple of burly-based cherry blends together and finally called it quits after 90 minutes. I probably could have gotten two hours out of it, based on what I dumped out, but I had more leaves to rake.
