At our last Morley's Pipe Club meeting one of our members, as he regularly does, displayed his latest wares for us to peruse and ogle over. I must tell you all that I have been looking at pipes that were similar to this but none of them had touched me like this one did. Once I saw it I knew I had to have it.
