In 1971 I was in Chicago. After checking out Iwan Ries my girlfriend (later my wife) and I made our way to Victory Pipe Shop. Its an over used phrase, but I was a kid in a candy store - absolutely blew my mind! There were pipes everywhere, displayed and in boxes. I took my time and waited for something to speak to me. Well here is what caught my eye, and with never a regret in 50 years. I guess its a Panel Volcano Rocker Straight Grain, but the Birdseye is unbelievable as well. I paid $35. And is a beautiful smoker. A great loss that Victory Pipe Shop is gone
