Mike knows of what he speaks, I trust him implicitly and he has steered me away from more pipes than I have bought from him because he knew I would not like a certain pipe. He is the most honest and trustworthy estate dealer I have known and I value his advice.
Peterson Dracula pipes are lacquered pipes, they will smoke hot and they also will cause a serious medical issue. The lacquer that is used is toxic and causes a brain eating disease that is incurable. It is a dirty little secret in the pipe world and the only way to cure this is if you jam the pipe up your ass each time before smoking it. There is something about fecal matter that stops the toxins from entering the body. Don't believe me, look it up. :rofl:
