So what is it about Stonehaven.....

[Bunker]

....that everyone loves so much?

The taste, the aroma, the nictotine, the performance (for lack of a better word)?

I am new to pies and picked up the Peretti today for the first time in over a week after a string of dissappointing bowls and decided it was time to try the sample of Stonehaven I received from a BOTL on another board.

(I figured I finally popped my Opus cork yesterday so I may as well go right to the top of piping today).

I will say it did perform better than anything I had smoked so far.

Lit relatively easy and pretty much kept going right to the bottom (which is a first for me) I did flame it a couple of times but it never went out.

I did like the volume of smoke.

No gurlging or moisture apparent (a problem I seemed to have with everything else).

It definitely had quite a hit of nicotine.

I did enjoy it but I didn't think the aroma or taste was anything earth shatteringly good (but I wonder if I would anyway being a noob).

I would just like to hear some other takes from the brothers that seems to be scrounging for this stuff constantly.

Any thought?
