As my forum friend Pete03 here says, there is no hope for PAD sufferers. When I started less than a year ago, I thought ten pipes was insane. I have about a dozen now. I think I have all the pipes I need to get for now, which will culminate in having a custom pipe being made in another month or two, but then you see a beauty that you just HAVE to own. No, friend, no cure, no surcease, no relief from this ailment.
