Thanks, guys. I found these as a result of a thread about Best Pipes less than $200.
Mike at BrierBlues steered me to these and away from a couple he judged less suitable for my tastes. I'm a little reluctant to promote him because I would like first go at his new pipes. But the boys here at PM have really helped me in my acquisitions and sources, so it is only fair to everyone that I further vote for Mike as a terrific guy to deal with.
