The Michael Parks Squat Bulldog that I purchased from Mike has just arrived. Even when i'm given specific diminsions and photos of a pipe for sale online, i have a very difficult time getting an accurate image, at least when the photos lack an object which gives perspective. Most often this results in a pipe which is far smaller than i'd imagined. Here this was NOT the case. This is a FAR more substantial piece of briar than i was expecting. Mike wasn't exaggerating when referring to brilliant fit n finish. Its a spectacular pipe!!! I wasn't certain if buying this pipe was a good idea, but now that i have it in hand, i can't imagine not having it. Thanks Mike, as always a true joy to do business with!!!
