Rattrays Ahoy Sandblast 9mm Filter Fishtail Pipe (RA1630) by Chas

This is my first pipe, and I think it looks fantastic. It is also light, so it's easy to keep in your mouth if going hands-free. It is also balanced just right so that when empty, you can leave it on the flat foot of the bowl and it sits there without need of a pipe holder/stand, keeping the lip off the table surface. Very classy looking, and has a small chamber, which is ideal for shorter smokes as I am often busy and have little time to unwind. Comes with a nice little black drawstring carry bag inside a cardboard box to prevent damage during transport. I just wish I saw the blue version when it was in stock as it looks even better with the white stem! CGars came through with a great delivery as always - I ordered it on Sunday afternoon and it arrived on Tuesday morning with a free leather tobacco pouch and the ubiquitous complimentary mints, which I didn't get a look in on as the kids nicked them off my desk! Lastly, I think it's great that they take individual pics when it comes to the majority of their pipes, as I definitely got the same pipe as the one shown on the

La Invicta Nicaraguan Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Andrew

On light up this one packed a spicy punch with notes of black pepper and earth. The smoke was very thick and creamy. 10 minutes in and the spice mellowed into a mild cedar. The 2nd third had hints of coffee and cream. The flavours were mild and the burn was fast but even. Toward the end of the 2nd third i was hit with chocolate notes, the flavours turned to a medium. Very nice! The final third needed a few touch ups as the burn became uneven. The flavours became washed out as it heated up. This is a great choice for a budget cigar.

CGars Real Leather Rubber Lined Tobacco Pouch - Up to 50g by Chas

I got this pouch for free with my first pipe, and it's a fantastic wee thing. Very supple leather, with just 2 plain buttons on the front and a single seam on the reverse near the top of the flap. The only logo is the "www.cgars.com - real leather" one, which can't be seen when the flap is closed. Roughly the size of a normal wallet. Has a rubber pouch that is sewn in at the base seam as part of the bag itself so it can't fall out or shift about. I can see this holding a surprising amount of tobacco too. Will definitely get some use when I start taking my pipe outside.

3 in 1 Pipe Tool with Sleeve by Chas

Good little tool. Stiff too, which is a good thing in my book, and I am happy to have paid an extra 50p for the little leather case to prevent possible scratching of my lighters when in my pocket. There are definitely better looking tools out there, but for practicality and space saving, this one does the job well.

Hiram & Solomon Master Mason Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Paul

Purchased two, having heard good things about these cigars and was not disappointed. Beautiful taste and aroma and a perfectly even burn and with matching draw. Went wonderfully with a glass or two of red wine. Certainly in my top choice of cigars and would buy again.
