However, color me disappointed when I discovered the stem was so tight, that I feared cracking it when trying to remove. For me this was a deal breaker, so after a bit of time thinking it over, I decided to box it up and return it.
So of course what did I do? I went back to SmokingPipes to see what came in today, and I spied this beauty:
Having heard high praise on this forum about Ferndown (equal to or better than Dunhills), I decided to get it while the getting was good. I have to say, if there's any pipe that defines what I like and who I am, this would be it.
I've become incredibly spoiled by my Dunhill, and so I've been looking for a pipe that will deliver the same qualities. I hope this one will be the ticket.
