Thanks guys - I've been eyeing that pipe like Ralphie and the BB Gun in A Christmas Story. I kept going back... debating my funds... expecting it to be sold. Was on SP for two weeks, today I caved.
Great looking pipe, six! I was looking at the Kapp Royals myself, but I'm trying to save some coin for the Chattanooga Pipe Show. I did end up buying several tins of tobacco and a Peterson Barrel though! The Peterson arrived today! I'll post a pic as soon as I can get around to taking one.
To me this is a stunning pipe (and I've had good luck with my last two Petes).
I first spied this same Kapp Royal over at Al Pascia, and debated getting it, but it was pricey. With shipping it would have cost $70 more than I paid at SP.
I look forward to seeing your new Pete, congrats!
Well Six, here it is as promised! Had a bowl of Carter Hall in it a little while ago, and it was great! Let us know how that Kapp Royal smokes when you get it in!
