It's an immutable law of PAD that the chances of a pipe in an ad being out of stock and unavailable rise exponentially with the degree to which you are enamored with it.
That looks like a fishtail - John at Wilke Tobacco has one!
Yes, it is a very attractive pipe! An 80s. Sp has them typically and I own one - a good smoker. In fact, there is something about the Irish Harp sandblast line that speaks to me. I have about a dozen of the Irish Harp shapes and will get a few more. I think that line is one of their most handsome.
Or get a Briarworks and a free hat instead...while supplies last! (c'mon admit it...you do want the hat)
I purchased that pipe for my dad last year. It is indeed a beautiful pipe and one I would have wanted for my own collection of pipes.
But not part of Britain, there are London made Petersons but the one in this thread is not one, my Irish Republican relatives would hate to be called British, it would be a insult of the highest order.
I'm an Irishman living in the US. I'm an Irish Republican. We don't make issue with the name of the archipelago. No one is calling anyone British but the pipe was made in the British Isles. All Irishmen know this from Grammer school.
The heading 'British pipes' is not referring to pipes made in the British Isles though is it? We can play a semantic game about the 'British Isles' all we want. But if that is the case, Guinness can be 'British', Taytos can be 'British', Clonakilty products can be 'British', any and all Irish Republicans can be 'British', you can be 'British'. Come on lad.
