I'm guessing you will be right about the grain, I've got some pipes from bygone days that have incredible grain and aren't "special", so to speak.
For me, the color of the smooth with the band works on these, and I like the band --- the sack will go into whatever tub I have all the other sacks in. Don't have any other versions and I'm celebrating the old dog's B'day on March 17th and I know he wants me to have a new pipe for the occasion! So birthday and good Irish memories.
I was confused by the email I saw in the wee hours this morning and just clicked and took me a minute to realize I was on SP EU, lol. So I've secured the smooth B68 I wanted without having to wonder the rest of the day, and still planning on securing a B42 rusticated (yep, no sack!), but plan on supporting a B&M on that with an additional order of tobacco I need from that shop when it is allowed to pull the trigger on selling.
Glad I did, the smooth 68s and 999s are gone over there for now. I'm sure they'll be up for sale in a few hours at SP USA. Shipping was zero, but AN Post sometimes takes forever getting in, around and out of Ireland, not to mention where it will go to die for a few days over here (I'm looking at you, Chicago --- hope that's not where the order goes).
I’m not part of the stampede. I get people are excited, but the brainchild behind this must have over estimated last years pipes and woefully underestimated this years demand.
Serialize it and add some swag and people go mental…
I love them all. If some of them become available in Greece, and I have money, maybe buy one.
I like these rustic models.
Model 05
Model X220
Model XL02
Model 80s

Certainly, I guess it sort of depends on your definition of ''too high''. Back when I first started, I thought £100 was too expensive. In fact, I had to get drunk in order to order my now favorite pipe: The Peterson smooth Tankard. In all actuality, any pipe could be considered ''overpriced'', since a £30 basket pipe from for example Mr. Brog could probably smoke just as good as a £500 Dunhill. It all comes down to personal cosmetic preference. Can't say they are cheap though, and I would have surely bought the smooth 106 from Peterson if it had ''just'' cost between £100 - 120.
Nice choices. Remember to check size before you buy, for example the XL02 bowl will be much larger than the x220. Just FYI.
My family is from Fermanagh in Ulster, so I don't display the tricolor. I bought a Peterson 2022 Halloween #102 with an orange stem to march around the house on July 12th.
This should have been anticipated...

I got a Rusticated 107, which is what I wanted. I'd like to get a smooth also, but only if I can get it in a 150 and I didn't find one before the server crashed.
