"I'm going to be back in Italy in April - I highly recommend that you lock your doors or I may walk off with some of those - and some of the ones you've carved - great pick ups!!!!"
Well maybe you'll not bring my pipes but some glass of nice wine for sure, My doors are unlocked for friends

Those are some fantastic pipes; you have amazingly good taste, and luck! I especially like the old Antiquary and the rustics. Only 200 to 300? I thought I was bad with a mere 65. Merry Christmas!

 

[pentangle]

Merry Christmag Rigmedic 65 pipes aren't "mere",guess we have the same problem 8O
