Good gawd, embers, you're worse on specific addictions than I am, & I thought I was one of the worst! -evyl grin-
One of my old regular customers way back when had a similar one, but he did admittedly vary the kind of "crack" he wanted. He'd come in twice a month & buy two each time. His "needs" were very simple: Peterson, half bent, military bit, bowl shape/finish immaterial. The first 3 elements were hard & fast, though. As you can imagine, after the first couple of years, finding suitable smokes for him started to be a challenge!
Gorgeous pipe; you know me & Savs by now; Dublins & Zulus are a downfall for me as well. I've only bought 8 pipes in the last two weeks. I had to use incredible restraint to keep it to that for my marriage's sake. The wife looked at me awfully oddly when two more racks came in the mail the other day....
