    Pipes And Cigars.... Wish Me Luck

    I appreciate the offer and hold no personal grudge, but I'll pass. I gave up and moved on some months ago and I don't feel like digging up all the details again.

    Pipes And Cigars.... Wish Me Luck

    P&C never did straighten out my multiple orders from IPSD weekend last February, in spite of multiple promises to do so. I eventually gave up. I also got a pipe that I didn't care for in person that I entered a request to return. They closed out my message without a response. I'll probably...

    2017 Peterson Christmas Pipes Out!

    I looked through all the different shapes, compared the dimensions, found the specific example of each shape that I though had the best grain and blast, lined them up side-by-side for comparison, and made my decision - none of them excited me enough to spend the $112. But, it's always fun...
