This was supposed to be the last post! Sorry it was what I thought about when I saw the comparison pic.

I use partial plateaux as an accent...but it has to make sense in the overall design. I would have shaped the pipe to eliminate the spot...

That is an awesome pipe! I wouldn't say you bought it because of the speck of plateau on the heel though. The plateau on Ember's pipe makes much more sense, and I agree with zack24 as far as eliminating that spot.

After some consideration, I'm going to pass.

If it were a $200 pipe, I'd probably buy it, but not at that price.

It was an interesting and helpful dialogue, so thank you for the comments.

Good call. That pipe has been available for a good while now. If it didn't have the spot it wouldn't have lasted a day. I'm certain the pipe wouldn't have left the bench if it was compromised, but the smoke is only part of the joy of the pipe.
