Soooo .... I managed to talk Momma into letting me buy myself a birthday pipe ahead of time ( it's on 11 June ) so I did some scouting last weekend and managed to snatch this from SmokingPipes.com
Pete Aran 05, came with sleeve and SmokingPipes box ( this was an estate )
I also got this cool butane pipe lighter since the torch requires a lot of care to light properly and it's a bit windy for matches now
Also a half pound of Stokkebye LNF and a quarter pound of Stokkebye B&B
All this was $97 and change including USPS ( most places don't do the "free ship" if you order over x amount to Alaska except for 4noggins but Richard didn't have the pipe I wanted ). Ordered late Friday 25 May, shipped 26 May, arrived in Anchorage 29 May and I picked it up yesterday 30 May ( our apartment complex has tiny mailboxes, if it's bigger than a magazine you get the pink slip ).
The four happy Petersons awaiting the return of their System 317 little brother who took a trip to Arizona to get a new stem. Andy is guarding them.
