That thread title is meant to be tongue n cheek. As many know, a couple weeks ago I placed a commission order for a Cooke pipe. We exchanged emails, me following his instructions till we agreed on a pipe. A week later it occured to me that I'd rather leave some details up to him so dropped him an email. Then the other night it was pointed out to me that I must prefer 1/8 bends. I realized I had told Cooke 1/4 bent.... And dropped him an email I'm sure you can see where this story is going. I DO NOT blame him.... but damn, getting "yelled at" by an American pipe legend is embarrassing. I cringed when I read the brief email offering to refund my deposit. Again, I completely understand and am not blaming him and I can't wait for my Cooke pipe!!!
