Spring Staff Pick Sampler

I purchased this Spring Sampler and was pleased. The Stanwell Army pipe is a favorite. I have not opened the tin of tobacco yet, so no opinion yet. The pipe tool will work in a pinch. Initially I was pleased with the lighter. For a week. After a week, the magneto started going and it soon got tossed to the side. The pipe alone made this a bargain.

Wow, just Wow! This is a great value, I'm smoking the first bowl in my new Black Stanwell Army Mount Model 403 Non-Filter Quarter Bent Egg pipe. The pipe I got was exactly like the one pictured, and I like it a lot. I am thrilled that it is non-filtered, I greatly prefer non-filtered pipes, and though that this one was going to be like the other filtered Stanwell Army Mount pipes offered on this site. I have a few filter pipes that use an adapter for smoking without a filter, but no worries now. I'm saving the H&H Blackhouse for a while to get a age on it. I'm breaking in the new pipe with Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired, and it's tasting marvelous in the new pipe. The bowl has a black coating (of unknown composition ), but it is tasteless, and already has the pipe behaving like an old friend. I don't normally like bowl coatings, but I have to admit that this one is giving me a positive experience, the pipe has that broken in quality right away. I can't detect a single bad taste from at all, so it has my approval! The tobacco pouch is rather small, but hey, it was 'free'. The Rockwell Pipe Tool is very cool, with lots of useful features and the P&C Lighter is surprisingly nice and exceeded my expectations. The pipe cleaners rounded out this value packed deal very nicely. All in all, I'm very pleased with the Spring Sampler, I took a chance and it has greatly exceed my expectations all the way around. Thanks for the great deal P&C!
