" They sold their first pipe to Ryan Lane, the owner of Atlanta-based Dream Beard Oils, an international beard competitor."
Good heavens, it appears that there are international competitions on EVERYTHING these days!
I agree %100
I wanted to like their pipes because of the beard and Ohio connections as well as they seem like guys I would hang out with but the pipes seem crudely made like they aren't finished. Maybe that is what you get for a handmade $100 pipe. I have heard that they smoke well though. I myself appreciated the aesthetics of a pipe almost as much as its smoking qualities.
