We really are a brotherhood. Andrew Rosenthal sent me a tip about a special Peterson Halloween billiard on eBay (he said my name was all over it, and he was right)-which I rarely look at for pipes--and I won the bid for much less than I bid for it. I got it in the mail today. It is beautiful, and while advertised as smoked, I sure can't tell the difference. It's far more attractive and well stained than the photo, and it smokes great. It's become one of my instant favorites. But it also demonstrates how we look out for each other: I would never have known of this pipe if it weren't for Andrew. I've said it before: what a great bunch of guys you all are.
