Newbie, you must have missed Rule # 342- You're not allowed to write snarky posts until you have achieved senior status….Will we see you at the Chicago show in May? Anyone and everyone will be there. Good luck with your pipe stamping endeavors.
At the risk of sounding a little snarky myself, this might just be the single longest run-on sentence I have ever seen. I mean ever. In my whole life.That along with some of the very basic brand new to smoking a pipe type of questions you have asked makes me wonder if right now you should be asking about how to stamp a pipe since you want to now make pipes or if you should instead be asking more and more and more questions about how to actually smoke a pipe and learn what pipes are actually all about but then I might be wrong and you might be the next and best Chinese wood shaper in all of Asia.
Well said Anthony, pity it's not all members, I hate seeing someone asking a genuine question only to be laughed at between the lines in other members comments.One of the great things about this forum, is most of the members generally care about helping their fellow pipers achieve whatever it is they want to achieve. Of course if most members on this forum made comments like some of our newer members do, this forum would have died a long time ago. Just saying.
