Mass, that is a beautiful pipe. You don't see many with the cumberland stem, and a spigot at that! Congrats, i am envious and have put that combo on my list to look for, at least the meer with cumberland stem parts. The PAD never ever goes away so just accept it and move on. I said i was done a week or two ago after that briar bird i posted a thread about...got a barely used tinsky and a pristine estate sam learned crescent crade in a couple days ago. I also have a barely smoked vergin sea rock g pi paneled canadian castello coming in tomorrow. Really, i promise this time, i'm done and no more PAD......stay tuned. :rofl:
