eBay Vendor in upstate SC doesn’t seem bad. Probably worth not having to deal with SP web fail. Go get it
I was able to purchaes my second choice. I wanted a sandblasted XL17, ended buying an XL11 #832/1200.
I saw a rusticated XL17, but I wanted the tweed sock.

I picked up 3 (#120, #53, and a B42). No mas! 
Glad you guys got through. Seems to be slowing down some. I got my Rathbone and half pound of baccy.
4ABs - all were numbered, but yes, more rusticated seemed to be available.
I managed to snag a Sandblasted (15) Fishtail number 908/1200.
I didn't realize you celebrate my birthday. Completely unnecessary, but very festive and appreciated.
I approve.
Well, as of 2050 EST there are 3 smooths left on Smoking Pipes EU and 74 rusticated.
Stateside at Smoking Pipes there is 415 rusticated pipes. Several shapes available.
Have at it boys! Sláinte!

I got one I really liked once SP came back up, but then I saw one of the sandblasted ones.
Thought about grabbing a 2nd and canceling the first but the constant downtime of SP made that not even worth trying. Knowing them, both pipes would be sold and then I would end up without either (has happened before) so I accepted what I was able to acquire,
Wanted to try to grab it, and then it was sold. Was a nice sandblasted apple shape that just looked good with the Irish flag band.
Got a smooth but I actually think the sandblasts looked better this year.
Either way, have another St Patricks to add as is tradition for me so just happy to get one.

Got on and snagged a 999 as soon as they dropped. Only seen 2 available. Went back right after my purchase and the server was down.
My paternal line was Ulster-Scot from Antrim.
I didn’t jump on the release because I realized I own the oldest St. Patrick’s pipe, well, to me, a 1902 Peterson with Ryan Alden Stem. Lol.
Guess I'm lucky that I rather prefer the rusticated version of this pipe. The smooth just looks...well, like any smooth pipe. Sandblasted is nice, but rather common as well. I dig the rough rustication. Not sure why anyone is turning up their nose at it.
Nobody gives a shit.
