One of the most important things for me in buying a new pipe online (as opposed to at a show) is an accurate description of the height of the button for easy clenching. I get tired of buying a new pipe with a 6mm button, only to have to take it to my workshop and make the bit more comfortable. I like a button just under 4mm and when I commission a pipe, I request that size. Most sellers neglect to list this info, but the Danish Pipe Shop does.
