Mike at Briar Blues?! You mean Mike Glukler?!!!
Oh boy, are you in for it. He is the most frustrating person I've ever dealt with in the PipeWorld.
He's Old School honest, completely dedicated to customer satisfaction, is 100% professional, and actually knows what he's talking about.
He's also got a great sense of humor, is smart as hell, and has an endless supply of good stories.
In short, try as I might, no matter what I do, I've never been able to get sideways with him about ANYTHING.
As I said, it's really frustrating.
PS -- nice pipe :D
