This post is a long time coming. I have a buddy who is a Captain in the Marines. Last year he was prepping for deployment onto a ship and said he wanted to do something cool for his junior officers, pipe wise. We deided on Peterson Draculas. I had the bands engraved with their unit info. So he purchased the two pipes and I took care of the rest. He had also mentioned to me that there were some other pipe smoking guys in the unit so I started setting aside some of the donations to the Free Pipe Project. And a pipe someone had offered up to go specifically to a vet or active military. I sent the pipes last fall and they were blown away. Also cool I surprised my buddy with a Pete Dracula too, donated by Sparrowhawk. They are now home from deployment safe and sound. Here is a pic of what they got.
