Mike is one of the funniest, nicest pipe sellers out there and he definatley will take care of you. I purchased this pipe from him:

He was nice enough to clearly explain the draw in terms of what you can stick easily down the button through the bowl of the pipe, shipped it to me without any payment of any kind and told me to buy it if I like it, or send it back. It came in absolutely flawless condition, not a scratch to be found anywhere. There was nothing left in the stem or shank of the pipe and it was reamed correctly to a good thickness of cake, without going all the way to the wood (ready to smoke). It is the perfect shape and draw for me, just love it! My new favorite shape is a bent apple with light sandblasting (so I can still wax it).
Definatley buy from this guy: Mike @ www.briarblues.com, he will answer any question, talk to you about the draw, how easily it passes a cleaner,(mine requires an easy twist to get through) and he will explain any damages before shipping, when he says "there is no damage" he means it, not a scratch.
