peck, just check the drilling and if they are off send them back. If the drilling is spot on, they shouldn't gurgle and you can give them to your boys.

bigvan, you are such a meanie. lol
Peck, now that I think about it, you really should have Rad make you two identical pipes for the boys. Let them begin their smoking careers smoking a great pipe. I would recommend a couple of nice black sandblasted billiards, group 5 with spalted tamarind stem applications. Nice smooth rims with cumberland saddle stems. I think your sons are deserving of smoking the best and you should not deny them. If you deny them, I am calling your wife and telling her you are cheaping out on your kids. Now contact Rad and get this done.

If I were you, peck, I'd keep 'em and gift them to your sons. That's just the kind of pipe an 18-year-old would
love (or the 18 year old in any guy). I suspect most of them won't gurgle, or on the outside chance they did,
a young guy wouldn't find that distressing. It's too good a gift to abandon. Stick with it. Go for it.

I know I would love one for a gift! Had to buy my own though, an 03 sandblast, which I'm glad to see you went with. The smooth finished ones are nice too, but I think the sandblast is a little better looking. However , I wouldn't turn down a smooth finished one if someone were giving it to me! I ordered mine the other day, should be here any time now.
I concur. I wouldn't overthink it. It's possible they might have problems, that's possible with a lot of pipes. Very likely, they will have no issues and smoke great. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
For any who like the Dracula's contrasting rusticated black bowl and shank, and silver band,
but who cannot quite buy the blood-red stem, for yourself, just take a look at the BC 1304
Caprice, a good mid-sized pipe with black rusticated bowl and a slightly more subtle
raspberry stem and thin silver-colored band, at about $30 less than the Dracula. They are
not comparable pipes, but the BC brings along some of that dash with a little less
razzamatazz, for a seasoned pipe smoker. Tobaccopipes.com and smokingpipes.com both
have this.

Ok, I am going to keep them and put them away.
Not unless your picture is a lie and you are really a hot, blonde female who likes to cook and do housework in the buff.
Just got my Dracula 03 sandblast today, WOW! The pics on SP don't do this thing justice. I'll post some pics as soon as I figure out how. Also got some McClelland 221b Honeydew flake. Can't wait to try them both out!
