When I buy a brand name pipe, I'll post up...all I have is my grandfathers old pipes, which most gurgle, and the Quiet Comrades, but I'll likely not buy a Peterson. I think I was in the great Chinese Army in a past life...I never buy the popular brands everyone else likes,and I hate uniforms, and having to do what everybody else does, hate authority with a passion that can't be described, and hate all forms of violence and killing. So I have my eyes on Boswells, Meers, Castello's, Nordings and Johs pipes so far. I've just gotta buy something different from the masses, that's just the way I've always been. I'm a Unique Freique, who also loves Perique.
