Not the flavor or nicotine kick of RY, but an easy straight up smoke and good for breaking in a pipe.

Oh -- DO grab a few cobs. I ditch the filters, personally.

Yeah i ordered three of the Missouri Meerschaum cobs they're like $4 each!!

The royal yacht is a challenge to smoke. My first time with it i had to relight repeatedly... I figured it was too moist so next smoke i let it dry out for an hour and the relights were at a minimal.

I think i'll try and grab some Cater Hall next...

Thanks guys!
