    What White Lies Were You Told as a Child or Have You Told Your Children?

    Rattray's Pipe - Pleasant Surprise!

    I hope your luck with Ratray’s is better than mine. I had a bowl crack which is irreparable (according to 2 pros) and never heard back from them when I emailed for advice. Pipe was under 2 years old.
