Now that's a high-end pipe, with high-end customs to go with it. I miss our former high-end pipe people, the late fish'n'banjo, and peck, who isn't posting these days. Every week one or both of them had collector pipes to show, though fish' had some at every price level. I don't know, giving up a government job in Canada, in a thriving city like Toronto might not be a good swap. Coastal areas are all having rising water problems, as are islands. Maybe just vacation with your family or elsewhere in the south. This will not solve your pipe import taxes, but as the old song goes, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."
