Actually Ted I'll bet you can sell a whole wack of pipes here if you can get some photos.
SAS, I'll take the camera the next time I go to the factory, started to this morning as I went to Halsey Drug. Grabow has seen way too much of me since July.
One thing I want understood... I try and make NO PPROFIT on what I buy. Just a break even with postage. Shootinok got 2 Aldo Velani Straight Grains for $105.00 I made $9.00, and told him I did. The 2 he didn't take will make twice that on ebag (a friend is selling them). This hobby/habit/recreation/ENJOYMENT/work that we all enjoy allowed me to retire at 56. Live on a SPECTACULAR farm in NC, a home in Florida. This thing, pipe smoking/making/enjoying, has been really good to me and my family. If it costs me a few bucks to send a free pipe to one of you (Mr Moo), or a few "hands" of Burley, then so be it,
Pipe Smoking(and making) means more to me than you'all will ever know, and this must continue. Damn the Governments.
One day I'll talk about failing out of UNC.... I did..... ted
