If Only I Had A Spare $2.5K...
It's a beautiful pipe, and she was trained by the best. You can tell it's hers from a mile away, even with the strong Ilsted influence. Only a few pipe collectors can afford them, but her output is low to match. -

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
Parading one's knowledge while knocking down a kind and trustworthy seller just isn't cool in my book. Denigrating buyers who can afford to buy nice pipes (and support the secondary pipe market in the process) is also uncool, IMO.- pauls456

Tom Eltang Pipes
Part of the appeal of owning an Eltang is that you own a piece of pipe-making history. Tom is an important part of the history of pipe making. When guys like Eltang and Former are retired, they won't be replaced. Tom has invented many of his signature shapes, while other established shapes are... -

Esterval's Current Lead Time?
I made multiple trips to the post office in an attempt to collect my package, but was unsuccessful. If you ask Estervals why this happens, they will tell you that the address was bad, but this was quite simply untrue in my case. If you ask your local post office clerk why this happens, they...- pauls456

Esterval's Current Lead Time?
I also received the custom fee threat from Estervals. I was also told that I should know my country's regulations better before placing an order. Regarding the re-shipping, I was indeed charged for that. All in all it was quite the ordeal. Fortunately I only smoke a bowl or two a day on...- pauls456

Esterval's Current Lead Time?
My order made it as far as the local post office, then the USPS decided to ship it back to Germany. Estervals sent it out again and it bounced all over the U.S., including both coasts, before ending up in my mailbox. Total time: 4-5 months.- pauls456

Muttonchop Piper
I sent Chris money, and he refunded it. I can't recall the reason why, but he refunded many donors at the time. Another recollection I have is that he did not ask for these funds, and that it was someone else's idea- Can someone confirm? In any case, anyone able to accurately assess a person's...- pauls456

Update on Esterval's Dispute
Nobody said or thinks that Estervals is doing us a favor by shipping us tobacco. They ship tobacco in exchange for money. We pay money in exchange for tobacco. The buyer has his money back, but its doubtful whether Estervals will get its tobacco back. By turning it into a zero-sum game...- pauls456

Update on Esterval's Dispute
I placed a large order with Estervals in the spring. It made it as far as Tucson, and then the USPS sent it back to Germany. Estervals kindly shipped It back to me at their expense. After it arrived again in Tucson, the USPS sent it to California, then back to Tucson, then back to California...- pauls456

My Estervals Order Was Sent By USPS To Customs And Has been Shipped Back To Germany
I placed an order with Estervals at the beginning of June. The package made it to my local post office in Arizona, and was then shipped back to Germany. Some lame excuse from USPS about a bad address. Estervals kindly sent it out again, and it then got held up at the New Jersey distribution...- pauls456
