Just got it today... Beautiful sandblast (like all punto oro blasts), not quite perfect, but well-figured and deep enough.... Definitely above average for its price range, about as nice as some Dunhills, if not Ashtons.

Stem-to-bowl fit isn't perfect, but that's common with cheap estates. A little bit of beeswax will fix that for now, and I will get the stem replaced someday.

And the previous smoker liked english blends, not aromatics

Haven't fired it up yet, maybe later today.

My first "canadian" shape, too... I think I like these.

The wonders of ebay... these go for at least $90 brand new. Any of you who isn't already doing it, should be looking for deals on pipes there.
