I was torn as I know the POTY is coming and I will want a few of those finishes.I had looked at them previously and decided to pass.
Saw the email and looked at a couple, held off.
Looked later and a couple I'd have been interested in had disappeared.
I've got so dang many new ones waiting to still give to myself... and the POTY will be coming along soon enough...
Great find, they are extremely rare!I feel incredibly lucky with this find. Unsmoked Meerschaum 69, 2006 hallmark.
Out of the non-system line, the 69 is easily my favorite shape.
Tomorrow, it will loose its "unsmoked" status.

Ok so I was sitting in front of the computer too long and realized I didn't have a Professor, and this would be a good way to see if I like it? I could always send it back if it doesn't please me...I was torn as I know the POTY is coming and I will want a few of those finishes.
We can be professor brothers!Ok so I was sitting in front of the computer too long and realized I didn't have a Professor, and this would be a good way to see if I like it? I could always send it back if it doesn't please me...
What? I've done that before............ well, I sent one back, once, in some strange parallel universe...
I know Mark is dropping something and I would bet a ton of cash it will be a system.The Barley's are gorgeous, I held off as I prefer systems and I am limiting myself two a few pipe purchases a year now, this drop was my first real test of PPADW, Peterson Pipe Aquisition Disorder WIllpower and I succeeded. 2024 POTY and PPN are what I plan to get. Pretty sure Mark will drop a system this year, I don't see why he wouldn't.
Congrats to all the new Barley owners.
I'm at the stage of not needing nor really wanting another pipe now. But, was tempted by the upcoming pipe of the year-til I found out I'm going to have to pay out a grand on my teeth in the next few months.The Barley's are gorgeous, I held off as I prefer systems and I am limiting myself to a few pipe purchases a year now, this drop was my first real test of PPADW, Peterson Pipe Acquisition Disorder WIllpower and I succeeded. 2024 POTY and PPN are what I plan to get.

I tried to buy a pipe on offerup one day. The guy refused to do the sale through offer up so I had to cancel it.On OfferUp of all places. It was part of a Ebony / Ivory set. There is a x105 Ebony that I will be listing for sale in the near future.
Couldn't resist the Milverton, eh? I don't blame youSome new Petes, granted most of these are going to my online store. I'm keeping the Molverton and the 11s for myself, and maybe that nice Rosslare.
