Had these the past week. The did not like the EP Carillo. It was part of one of the CRA packs I got a few years ago. The RP was good. The GoF was great as always. I got that GoF when it was released in 2012. My favorite is still the GoF Don Carlos Robusto 2005 and 2006. Never got to have the initial release of the DC but I have the Carlito.
And I like the Divinia. Not a huge AJ fan but this is one of his that I like.

Fonnna have to find me some of those Patel “fifty’s” to try
Opus X Oro Obscuro. I'll have to get a pic later.
I was lucky years ago. I was able to get 3 boxes of the 15 count samplers. I think I got 1 left in the humi.
Wish I could get my hands on a Sand Shark but those are more elusive than UFO sightings.

Love the smell; hate the taste. But, I am NOT judging! Had my fair share of them.I am cheap.... Black and Mild wood tip original....

El Gringo & a party clouds hazy with the neighbors
Just picked up a 10 pack of Diesel UC and a box of Oliva V Nub. Also got a free 4 pack of Oliva MB3 with a 94+ Rated Diamond Hands Mega-Sampler but for some reason the sampler didn't ship yet. Says back ordered but website says in stock. Very weird.
Random question for you all. Has anyone ever had tobacco beetles? I did twice years ago and I'm pretty sure I know the source. I had gotten 2 different 5 packs of Gurkha Shaggy Maduro from the same source just at different times (within a month or 2). I had each 5 pack in different humidors. It was the winter months and my bedroom where I had my sticks are really hot like 80+F. I ended up loosing pretty much all the Shaggys and a few others. After that, I have a habit or putting all my new sticks in my fridge for a day, then freezer for 3 days then back to my fridge for another day before moving to my humidors.
Freezer trick doesn’t work. Just have to keep temps below 75F

Really? I read multiple articles about this and they all say similar things.

Found what my pipe is 
I didn't take pics, but here's one:

Mine also has the shop's name engraved at the factory - Chacom apparently did that for their official resellers.
I realize the only thing that bothers me a bit in the design is the break in the stem. I sort of prefer them flush. I see a Chacom 871 in the very far future (I went on an Ebay binge and have a bag full of pipes already).
Now, to find a source for Clan pipe tobacco in the US. Apparently the most hated tobacco in the universe. Still, it's the one I like and the only one I've tried besides Drum and Amsterdarmer, which were way worse. I love unsalvageable things.
