Update: I visited both the James Fox and Peterson shops in Dublin and decided on picking up this Peterson Aran 05 from the latter. Though they had some fine pipes, this one, with it's rusticated finish really spoke to me. Just had an inaugural bowl of Irish Flake in it. Smokes like a champ. I also found a great unsmoked Peterson 303 block meerschaum with p-lip in an antique shop and will post pics in a different thread.
