    Newest MM 150th Anniversary Pipe

    Not sure if this has been posted yet, I just ran across it. It seems the newest MM 150th anniversary pipe is just the 5th ave diplomat with 150 on the shank. I believe I will be passing on this one. Seems kinda lame when compared to the bully in my opinion.
