Thanks cigarmaster, and you're right, PAD and TAD have hit hard for the last year or so! I went for a couple of years without buying anything except a couple ounces of bacy here and there to keep me going, then Bam, it hit hard! In the last 12 - 14 months, I've went from 12 pipes to 35, and from maybe 12oz. of tobacco to about 6 or 7 pounds!
Thanks Frank, it's a great smoking pipe! The St. Patrick's Day Petes are a good value, IMO, the finish is very attractive and the drilling is spot on, and everything is fitted nicely! I'd highly the recommend one! I have a nice, vintage Charatan pot, and this Pete "606" pot is by far the better smoker!
