I just found a local guy who is selling 5 pipes.A peterson emerald,a bari volcano,a butz choquin calabash church warden,a bjarne danish freehand,a Sasieni 4-dot Ruff Root.I can buy them all for $150.00.Does this seem like a good deal?

Well,after all of this hoo haa,the bastard backed out on me :evil:,fair enough if he had decided before we made the deal,but I went to get them,and his kin had told him he could get more out of them,so I got notta
