I'm known for making the occasional pipe, but I also apparently make really tasty doggy treats...I sold this pipe a few weeks ago to a great guy on the West Coast and didn't hear anything after it arrived- I finally got the gory details this weekend. He smoked the pipe one time- probably with the Stonehaven I sent in the package...thought it was an amazing smoke...and left it out on his coffee table overnight. The next morning, there is one guilty looking Boykin Spaniel named Draeger and the evidence of his evil deed everywhere...Draeger is a PTSD Service Dog in training...and apparently very much a Morta Munchin' Fiend... The pieces should arrive in my shop this week...and I'll try it again- not sure if anything but the stem can be salvaged...
