Enjoy! First one, or do you have others?Purchased this Olive wood brandy today
Thank you! This one is actually the first and surely will not be the last. Like you, I have my eye on quite a few and I don't often feel the need to practice self control when it comes to pipes. Happy hunting, I hope you get at least one of those Rooks!Enjoy! First one, or do you have others?
I've been eyeballing the Rook Bent Apple 'EE' & the Rook Bent Brandy 'E' over at SP.EU for a while now.
If you buy them, I wouldn't be mad. =) Realistically I've turned it down with pipe-buying for a while, maybe forever. It used to seem to be a much better value to play, even for the more expensive stuff. Bought a lot right before "internet sales tax" kicked in, bought a little more before inflation started to take off, now I pretty much just window-shop. I bought something online from overseas the other day, & got charged VAT at time of payment. I guess that's a thing now. I would have to deal with it during tax time to get it back. That used to be a decent little savings, not having to pay VAT. Whatever, these days it's easier to simply avoid these problems in the first place by not buying retail.Thank you!

I wouldn't buy them out from under you, there are plenty out there to choose from. I get your point, it definitely used to be cheaper. I do a lot of window shopping myself but that seems to only get me into trouble... something always pops up that I can't do without. I suppose one day soon I have to step back and admit to myself that I have enough...maybe.If you buy them, I wouldn't be mad. =) Realistically I've turned it down with pipe-buying for a while, maybe forever.
