FREE Pipe tobacco!!!!! WOOT!!!

[Scott M]

Pipe Show Online (http://www.pipeshowonline.com/) seems to have this deal worked out with Altadis U.S.A. . I registered (in the "GET FREE STUFF" area) about 3 weeks ago, and today I recieved 16 1.5 oz samples of (ALTADIS) pipe tobacco.

11 are aromatics:
Irish Creme
Almondine
Montego Bay
Wild Cherry
Dutch Masters Cherry Cavendish
Rum and Maple
Classic Vanilla
China Black Vanilla Burley
China Black Whiskey
Blue Note
Mixture No. 79

5 are a mixed selection
Fox and Hound
Night Cap (not Dunhill's)
China Black Fine Cured
Dutch Masters Cavendish
Midnight Smoke

I'm not really into aromatics. In fact, the only one I'm really interested in is the Fox and Hound. HOWEVER, this might be of benefit to someone who wants to try them.

Cheers!

Scott"yes,IDOlookgifthorsesinthemouth"M

[croatan]

Cool, thanks. I'm not much on aromatics but free stuff is cool.

[Jeff]

Thanks for the link. I'll be looking forward to trying some new pipe tobaccos! :)

[Moglman]

Thanks Scott. Sounds like a deal.

[cmiller]

Ok, I registered, now I'll have to dig up a pipe. Or 2 to have a seperate one for the aromatics. Given my budget I'll likely go with the Missouri Meerschaum (http://www.corncobpipe.com/) :rolleyes:

[celticgent]

awesome!

Thanks Scott!

[LSU_Stogie]

I signed up a couple of days ago, anyone know how long it should take for the tobacco to be sent?

[czartim]

I have a friend who swears pipes are better than 'gars. I'll have to sign up too and see what this friend of mine is thinking. Now, where do I sign up for a free pipe?

[cameroncouch02]

Not into Aromatic's, but I really appreciate the link man. I did sign up.

Whatever gets the job done bro. Check out Ebay. They always have killer deals.

[Scott M]

On some other pipe boards, the consensus is between 1 and 5 weeks. Apparently the samples are shipped out in batches as a number of people receive them within the same 2 or 3 day time frame.

[itstim]

I signed up for this around the time Scott first posted his message. Today I received my package of pipe tobacco. Wow! What a lot of tobacco!

[IHT]

nice to see you post again, itstim.

[cameroncouch02]

I rec'd mine today.

[Mister Maduro]

Got mine today, nice package with alot of different blends.

[vwman18]

I got mine today also. Man, that is a LOT of tobacco!

[Foz]

Very cool, thanks for the link

[celticgent]

i got mine on the 29th as well...

holy COW there is a lot of tobacco!

how long do you guys think that this will last before going stale?

[Scott M]

I had some Blue Note yesterday afternoon from the stash I got, (a sort of vanilla-rum kinda thing), and it was a little too wet to finish the bowl, (buncha drippy wet dottle left at the end). Shoulda let it dry out a little. It's been stored in a large ziploc bag since I received them.

So... at least a month.


And it takes three licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.


Just as an aside.

[cosner63]

I received mine on Thursday. Ordered a pipe on Friday. :D

[Warhorse545]

I kept seeing this thread and decided what the heck. I signed up for it.

Thanks for the link.

Stacey

[Kayak_Rat]

I got mine the other day also. Was amazed at the amount of tobacco. I have tried two of the floavors: Rum and Maple/Night Cap
Both were nice smoke and pleasent to the smell. I did experience some of the moisture also. Will let them sit for a little bit and see wat that does.

[cmiller]

Mine showed up today (Jan 3). Now I just have to scare up a pipe :) I haven't smoked a pipe since college and only stopped when I accidentally broke the stem off my pipe and was too cheep/poor to buy another :r

[croatan]

Mine came today. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all these aromatics :) I may be buying a throw away pipe to try 'em.

[vwman18]

So far I've only tried the Irish Cream. I had a hard time keeping it lit, but I left it out for a bit to dry out. We'll see how it smokes after that.

[Dogwatch Dale]

Got mine yesterday and fired up a bowl of the Three Star China Black Whiskey in my meerschaum. It was a mild, cool smoke with decent flavors. After dinner I filled my Karl Erik with the Fox & Hound. Burned very good and was a solid traditional English blend. Had lots of good Perique & Latikia flavors but not overpowering.
I was hoping for more English type blends as I'm not a big fan of the super sweet tobaccos, but it's going to be fun giving them all a try! Heck of a deal.

[Nooner]

JUst ogt mine in today - I don't even remember ordering it, but I'm sure I did(or one of you guys ordered it for me)... and MAN! Talk about overpowering! There is a ton of tobacco in that box! The box looked smallish, and didn't feel too heavy, but once I opened it... WOW!

Now I had been out working on the Jeep, and I might be a little bit dehydrated, but I couldn't take the smell... I had to put the stuff in the back of the closet with the door closed(to both the closet and my office) or I was at risk of getting sick... there is just too much aromatic stuff... I'm guessing some of it is going to be over the top aromatic. I need to rehydrate...

thanks for the tip Scott, I can't wait to try some new stuff!

[czartim]

I got mine a couple days ago. I too had forgotten about signing up for it. I didn't realize just how much tobacco it took to measure up to 1.5 oz. I need to get a pipe, but I just spent a good chunk of my savings on my dad's birthday gift, so I guess I'll be heading down to Walgreen's this evening for a $4 cob.

I've never smoked a pipe myself, but just signed up for this and was planning on doing the same thing just to give it a whirl.

There was actually a guy smoking a pipe outside of the building I work in the other day and as I walked by I got a waft of that smoke and thought to myself "damn that smells good, I gotta try that some day"

[Jeff]

There is a ton of tobacco in that box!

Thought the same thing when I opened mine. :) At first I couldn't think what was in the box because I hadn't ordered anything recently. Then as soon as I cut the tape and opened it up I instantly got a woosh of pipe tabacco smell.

[WillyGT]

yeah I also signed up to see try new stuff, but didnt give a thought of how much 1.5oz was. when i got the package i realized it was A LOT! haha, it is a pretty big stash, and several of them smell really good. Thanks for the link :)

[Warhorse545]

I am still hoping mine shows up soon, :)

[Jeff]

Just tried the Blue Note this afternoon. Not bad at all. I think it is a tad moist though as its hard to keep going.

Next will be the Fox and Hound. Anyone else have reviews of this sampler to give?

[vwman18]

I've tried the Fox & Hound, its not bad. Its a basic English blend, plenty of Latakia.

[smokinmojo]

I've tried the Fox & Hound, its not bad. Its a basic English blend, plenty of Latakia.

I took a pouch (minus one bowl) and mixed it with 1/4 oz squadron leader and 1/4 oz nightcap. (PIF from DrSLove)

I absolutely love it. The squadron and nightcap are great alone, but the combo brings down the intensity. Leaving a cool smoke with the dark flavors I love.

F&H is "ok". It just needs a little help in the strength and flavor dept.:w

[WillyGT]

I tried the CHina Black Vanilla Burley last night and it was really nice. VERY sweet, I felt the smoke in the tip of my tongue as if i was drinking something very flavorfull. Also it was a lot milder compared to the only other ive had which was a Kentucky blend. All in all it was very good and cant wait to try the others :)

[theromulus]

I received my tobacco today. I have always wanted to try a pipe. Just remember my uncle smoking one and how wonderful the aroma was. Now to find a pipe. I'm kind of confused by the ones on ebay, guess I'll see if Walgreens has a corn cob to get started. Thanks for the link.

you can get a cheapy dr. grabow at Wal-Mart... if you need any other help with ebay stuff, just ask in that thread.

[IHT]

here's a pipe that'll be a steal.

savinelli hercules (http://cgi.ebay.com/Hercules_W0QQitemZ6245140074QQcategoryZ4119QQrdZ1Q QcmdZViewItem) - it looks lightly smoked, and i have a bent billiard that's very similar. this one is lovat shaped....
no bids yet, but i bet you could snag it for around $20 or less.

[Shaggy17sc]

Just signed up, thanks for the link. Guess im in the same boat as a few others, never tried a pipe, gonna have to Wal-mart it myself, along with reading all the stickies on pipes.

[mrme11]

I just recieved my box of tobaccos today. I'm good for the next year or two. Thank god it doesnt go bad.:D

[MikeP]

I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread. I also am now expecting a package of freebies.

[Funnymantrip]

Mine came in on friday, and I do agree, that is a lot of tobacco to get at one time. I came very close to getting the look from the wife before she found out it was free. I had to get rid of the mixture 79, that reminded me way too much of skoal mint which I cannot stand, but other than that this was a great find.

Thank you.

[itstim]

Those sneaky bastages just sent me even MORE pipe tobacco! I thought I was done and I received another package today with the note:

I originally signed up in early December, and apparently signed up again later in the month, as I've recieved 2 of the sampler packs. Last night, I come home to not 1, not 2, but 3 MORE BOXES of Altadis origin. I left them unopened, thinking they were of the same as the original offerings.

Further investigation later. Film at 11:00.

[Warhorse545]

I got mine in today finally. And well I know you guys said it was a lot, but till you see it in person it doesn't really hit home :) It is a lot.


And I am now a proud owner of a All American Made Original Missouri Meerschaum, Worlds Best Natured Corn Cob pipe. 3.99 at the local CVS store. :D

[Scott M]

Latest Update:

Looks like Altadis is getting overly generous in thier old age. Several instances where people recieved multiple shipments of the latest samples.

Tried the Cordial Cherry last night, since I thought if they could do THAT well, the rest oughtta be awesome. Well, it looks like the rest oughtta be awesome. Really pegged a cherry flavored burley, instead of a burley flavored with... something other than PG. After letting it dry out for a bit, it packed well, light well, burned without alot of relights, (<2), and had a blatent cherry flavor.

So it looks like I've been lucky enough to get a pretty good stash of impressive tobacco and some pipe bomb making material.


Scott"planswithinplans"M

[celticgent]

holy COW, i got another package too!

my wife says i need to open a tobacco shop now...

[Jeff]

Yep. I got another package yesterday. This time it contained a brand call Three Star. Still has too many flavored kinds. Wish they would include more varieties besides cherry. ;)

[smokinmojo]

Got my multiple packages from altadis today. I tried the "Three Star Blue" original aromatic. Classic aromatic with good tobacco taste. More importantly there was an insert for a pipe special that looks too good to be true. "Velani" pipes 3 shapes. ($20) or (2 for $35) or (3 for $50).

I hope they are stocked up!:D

[usedtobesexy]

oh my.........this is a ton of tobacco, i could just breathe the aromas the mixture i got is the same as the original post, all the same:
Dutch Masters -Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey
Vanilla
Blue note
China black - fire cured
Midnight smoke
Irish creme
Wild cherry
Rum & Maple
China black - vanilla burley
Fox and hound
Montego bay
Mixture 79
Dutch masters cherry cavendish
China black - whiskey
Night cap
Almondine

Together they are awesome , tho the Dutch Masters Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey does have a place by my desk!!

Get this load guys and gals it is awesome!!

[DacularThrasher]

I got my first package after only two weeks. What a huge package! Thanks for the link!

When I first started skoking a pipe, I had to BUY a sample box from the Tender Box and it only contained four different baccies in pouches the same size.

I recieved mine as today as well. MAN thats a lot of 'baccy (dont kill me for sayin it like that)

Havin never tried any pipe tobbacco before, which one would be a good one to start on? I tend to like fuller flavored cigars, what would have a smiliar taste to say a Brazilia or an edge or something similar?

I'm no pro on pipe tobacco. I smoke my pipes only once or twice a week. Right now, I smoke a couple of blends from my B&M. I don't know the brands. I don't think I'll care for the fruity blends like the cherry included in the bundle. Heck, it's a lot of tobacco, and it was free, so I'll give 'em all a shot. I might find something I like.

[joshua]

Hmm I never got any of those 3 star blends, or a second box of anything. Hope to get hit again, cause I hate to be missing out on more free tobaccy!

[Mr. Pink]

Also signed up. Thanks for a great link!

I don't think pipe tobacco is going to be anywhere close to a Brazilia or Edge. In my very limited experience with pipes, the flavor/aroma profile seems nothing like cigars. However, I could (and probably am) be wrong. :)

Well, i guess im just gonna have to find out for myself, just went to the cigg store and bought a pipe....i think its cool looking. looks like a metal bowl inside it though...weird. maybe that means i wont have to break it in (and screw it up doin it

[tetraplegic]

I checked my mail today to find a package note in my mailbox which was completely unexpected. I couldn't figure out what it was even after getting the package... i couldn't remember ordering anything lately.

I crack open the box and pull out a big ol' bag full of a pound and a half of pipe tobacco! I had entirely forgotten about the free samples i ordered a few weeks ago from Altadis.

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7171/pipetobacco2vf.jpg

...now all i need is a pipe. Any sources for a cheap but decent one?

[TypeO-]

Check out eBay. There have also been numerous links to some good buys in the Pipe thread. You should be able to find a cheap decent pipe at your B&M ~$20-30. Don't get one from Walmart.

And don't forget a pipe tool/tamper and some pipe cleaners. Only a couple bucks more.

[Scott M]

...now all i need is a pipe. Any sources for a cheap but decent one?


Ebay's a good place to go. Greg and others have made quite a few excellent recommendations. Dr. Grabow has started one or two pipe smokers off well enough. I'll also plug Frenchys Pipes (http://www.frenchyspipes.com/) again. Good, clean estates and an excellent return policy.

My :2

[joshua]

I bought 3 different pipes, all were under $20 with shipping and smoke pretty well. I figured put a few bucks into some estate stuff and test the waters then buy something nice later if I like smokin a pipe.

http://www.premierpipes.com/ has sone Boswell pipes that are around $50 which isn't bad and they look quite nice. I might step up to that myself after my tax refund comes.

I just placed an order with Frenchys Pipes today, ordered This (http://www.frenchyspipes.com/pipes/wallyfr/pipe08.html) one. Have not gotten it yet of course, but sent emails back and forth with the store, and seems like they have excelent customer service, and want their customers to be happy.
So I'll second your plug after you plugged it to me Scott:D

[mr.c]

you may want to burn a few bowls of an english in a new pipe, get it seasoned a little. I burned some Mac vanilla cream in my newer pipe and *yak* did it taste bad.

What did you have in it before?

[diet069]

Don't forget the old cheap corncob pipe. I smoke arromatic tobacco out of mine. Works just fine. You can find these at Walgreens.

I think Holt's tobacco sells miscellaneous "grab bag" cheap pipes too.

www.holts.com

Nice thing about a pipe is that you don't have to commit 90 minutes of your afternoon. Even if you end up throwing out the tobacco after 15 minutes, it's so cheap that it hardly matters.

[JustAyoungMC]

Who delivers this? I ordered long ago and never received it though many who ordered after already have. If it is UPS I am probably out of luck, they seem to not be able to find my house quite often, though I received USPS and FedEx regularly.

[Mindflux]

Got mine today, UPS box it seems.

21 1.5oz packages...

2 LBS OF BACCY!

[Mr. Pink]

I don't understand why so many forum members who don't even own a pipe are diving into this? Oh wait, it will get you to buy one, won't it...

[WillyGT]

My girlfriend called today and said there is a package for me in the mail so maybe its the second one, that others have been receiving :). I think later today i will cross the border and get the package :D

[CAOlover]

Got mine in the mail today and shit there is alot of tobacco in their. Its to bad they can't do this with cigars. :D

[joed]

What am I going to do about this -

I forgot about signing up for the free tobacco from Altadis - 21 different 1.5 ounce samples

I won't list all of them here - I'll wind up with CTS for sure. mostly aromatics and a couple not - A few I really wanted to try (fox and hound, night cap, midnight smoke...)

If yo are a big fan of aromatics - go sign up for this - it's a fairly good amount of tobacco, for free - will certainly stretch your cigar budget.

[MikeP]

Holy Crap!! A box arrived yesterday. What am I going to do with all this pipe tobacco. My wife found out about it and is a little upset with all the tobacco, even if it was free. I hope she doesn't catch my cbid box that I'm expecting on Monday.

Seems to be an epidemic!! Got my package of 21 samples today also. Now, more than ever, I will have to put more effort into suceeding with my pipe!

Of course, if I can't get the hang of it, I can always have a nice bomb package ready made for sending!!

A heads up to everyone who got the Altadis Sampler Package, check the Blue 3-Star Box. There is a coupon in there for 3 Aldo Velani pipes for $50!!! That is a killer deal. You can also get just 1 for $25 which is also a great deal, but the three for $50 is a great way to get a solid trio of pipes to sample your tobaccos.

Good Luck!!!

[Millow]

Too bad its USA only... if i had that much free pipe tobacco i would definatly go out and buy a nice pipe.

[hunter1127]

have 9 1.5 oz packages of pipe tobacco I just received that I won't use; would like to trade all 9 for a fiver of some decent medium to full cigars. Here is what I have:
Montego bay- flavored w/ New England and jamaican rums
China Black- Whiskey
Night Cap- flavored w/ Cordial spirits
Almondine- almond liqueur
Wild Cherry
Irish Creme
Dutch Masters- Kentucky Bourbon
Rum and maple
Buttered Rum.
all are a black Cavendish tobacco; all made by Altadis.
If interested, email to hunter1127 at yahoo dot com

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like a deal I need to latch onto, since I'm not sure if some of my pipe problems aren't related to the pipe I've been using!!

[drevim]

Seems I will complete the USA receiving trend. Mine came yesterday as well. Now I just have to learn what the heck I'm doing, and which of these to start with, and I'm my way....

[illuminatus]

My roommate got his a few days ago (didn't know it was coming, I just used his mailbox to sign up for it! :r), and mine is at the post office, waiting to be picked up later today... Along with some cigars I won. I'm going to the B&M today to buy a pipe, I'm hoping to get into the pipe thing, as I don't know how much longer I'll be able to enjoy cigars, due to budget considerations. I know that with all the free tobacco my roomie and I have, I won't need to buy any for a long, long time... Looking forward to trying this!

[Suburbahick]

Sweet mother of god!

I've never seen this much pipe tobacco before... i thought i got bombed... (I never get packages... so i didnt know if it was someone who i pissed off sending me an actual bomb or one of y'all sending me ciars) I was excited/nervous... i open it only to find a big ass bag of tobacco... im like, oh yea i ordered free pipe tobacco!

very cool and fun though

[Neuromancer]

Crikey...I just signed up for this today...how the hell do ya keep it all at the proper humidity? And what is the proper humidity...it's been over 15 years since I stopped smoking pipes and I've totally forgotten what I did way back in those dark ages...Boy Scout motto is "be prepared"...

[illuminatus]

Well, from what I understand, well sealing glass jars, like a mason jar is the preferred method. As for preferred humidity.. I have no idea... But I DO know that you should NOT put pipe tobacco in your humi with your cigars! :r

[Scott M]

Don't sweat storage. Pipe tobacco can retain most of its nuances even completely dry. Although mason jars are good for longer term storage and aging, I've been getting by with ziplock baggies for the opened everyday stuff without much hassle.

The tobacco in the sampler comes pretty wet anyway, so I wouldn't lose too much sleep over how you're gonna store it.

Got my box today, looks like I'm in the market for a pipe:)

Folks, if there is pipe tobacco, or unwanted cigars that you will not use, please consider a web site called anysoldier.com that will send stuff to soldiers, sailors, airmen, coasties, national guardsmen, and marines who are deployed. Better to help these folks than let the stuff go to waste. Believe me, they are thankful to even get cigars from the T**word. They protect us, lets support them. Semper Fi. Paul:u

Good call taltos.. believe me, we take care of our soldiers with waaaaaay better stuff than.. *gasp*.. the "t-word" (haha, that made me laugh so hard).. Do a search for Operation Herfghanistan or Operation Smoking Eagle. It's a good thought on your part, and I'll be sure to check that website out to send other stuff, but when it comes to smokes.. we've got our servicemen covered! :u :u

[taltos]

I have sent some good(ElTitan) out on Herfganistan. Just wanted to send out another resource since some folks might be inclined to send out some of the other personal care items that the deployed troops need. Semper Fi. Paul:u

[Stogiefanatic182]

my roomate got his free tobacco yesterday and we were both in shock with how much they sent him. Im surprised they gave away that much free tobacco.

[leicoolya]

I got mine 2day....All I can say is WOW!!! Thats alot of free stuff...guess i'll be buying a pipe so i can try some:D

[tikipirate]

Ordered mine on Feb 20th, got mine today...fantastic deal!

[sspolv]

Got mine a few days ago. That is a -lot- of tobacco. Now I gotta start my search for a nice pipe (or resort to a corn cob if I can't wait that long).

[SUOrangeGuy]

got mine today! WOW! That package is huge I'm shocked at this promotion. Gotta set my sites on a good estate pipe from EBay.

Latest update;

Found on asppipes this AM:


The program has been very successful, but due to the number of requests
by non-smokers from "Free-stuff sites", clogging up the system and
tobacco going to non-smokers, the Freebie program has been temporarily
suspended.
A new process for sample requests will be forthcoming...access
www.pipeshowonline.com for further updates.


So check back from time to time to see if it's been replaced.

I hope everyone is enjoying the tobacco they have already received!

I threw my name in the hat last week, I wonder if I will be lost?

Might go ahead and find me a pipe to have, just in case :)

[P-Town Smokes]

Ordered mine a couple of weeks ago, and BAMM large box comes a knocking at the door. Must be 20 small bags and boxes. Bought a used Mastercraft Piggrain Leather Pipe ( looked cool at the shop ) for $ 10 at the local shop, now to learn how to smoke um pipe. Wish I had my Pops or Grandpa's old pipe.

[PuroBrat]

I hear you there. My dad had a Meerschaum that he Carved himself from a block. It was awesome, was the face of Sir Walter Raleigh. Pleasently yellowed from use. He use to take me to the Tobacco shop with him, I still go back in time from the smells in a shop.

He lost that pipe when their house burned down at Christmas in 1979. He hasn't smoked a pipe since. But he smokes cigars with me and my brother whenever we get together. Plannin' a fishing trip as soon as I can lay my hands on 3-6 good smokes.

[fitzsmoke]

I have this sampler and have made the effort to try some of the less Aromatic blends. I hope your experience will be better than mine.
The Dutch Masters is o.k. for an Aromatic, The China Black Whiskey is o.k. The Iwan Ries Green is not too bad. Fox and Hounds is a passable English.
But....seeing as how Capt. Black is the best selling pipe tobacco in the U.S. maybe Altadis is on to something. Keep in mind there are much better blends available for those who like the taste of tobacco. I can't figure out why Altadis doesn't pouch Count Pulaski? It is an outstanding English blend that they sell in bulk only. The pipe clubs have already banned the leftover unopened freebies from all of their "box passes".:)

[PuroBrat]

That bad huh? I was thinking about buying me a pipe so I could try to get the taste for it. Maybe I will wait on that till I get some good flake or something more respectable to smoke. Or maybe I will just get a Cob Pipe for this dip in the Pipe Puffing Pool.

[Scott M]

There are certainly blends of higher quality, careful blending, and subtle distinction far beyond the samples in the (now revised) Altadis sampler.

HOWEVER... these blends are probably above the level that most pipe smokers get, at least in terms of variety. Sure they're mostly cased burleys or cavendish tobaccos, but consider the first cigar you smoked... a White Owl... Swisher maybe? Probably wouldn't be caught in a TJ bordello with one of these now, but IT GOT YOU INTO THE GAME, which is what the intent of all this was supposed to do, (at least the reason I posted it). From here, you've got a huge universe of options and most of them will have a greater attraction for you than Montego Bay... or you might decide you LIKE Montego Bay and not go any further. But you've cut your teeth on something, maybe found a type you like, (Fox and Hound as an english blend... could have a worse start), made a few discoveries, and learned a little from it.

And get a cob anyway... decent, disposable pipes for pocket change. What's not to like?

Smoke what you like...like what you smoke.

[PuroBrat]

Ug, You talk truth with voice of wisdom. I will name you Wise Truth Talker.
:D

Good points Scott, and don't tell anybody, but I STILL smoke White Owls and Swishers, and I like em. I am sure I will find something or some things in this free sample that I will like enough to buy more of. I smoked a pipe before, and I just smoked that stuff in a pouch you could get at the local 5 and Dime. Had a Dr. Grabo (sp?) I enjoyed it for the most part. My tastes are a bit more refined now, but not much.:w

[Jeff]

Tried the Three Star China Black this morning. One of the better baccys in this sampler.

[Sir Tony]

I only got three bags, Montigo, midnight, and blues. I wanted to try more, but what the hell it was free.

[decesaro]

I to got mine today they included four samples midnight montigo,blue note and 3 star . I love the smell of the montgo. I might have to burn it like an incense over charcoal if it smokes like shit :D

[Franksmith]

Got mine in too... haven't been hitting the pipe much... and have been avoiding aromatics... not sure when or what I will do with it :confused:
