You just can't beat a pipe from Ron. Not only are they a work of art, but his engineering is perfect...like ftrplt, I have 3 also, and consider them to be heirloom pipes.
I've got 3 of Ron's pipes...the first was a Christmas present that he sent me...he knew that I couldn't afford one of his pipes and he wanted to make my Christmas a little brighter. That is the kind of man that Ron is..he puts his heart and soul into everything he creates, and I say creates...
I don't have as many pipes as many others do..I gave many of my older Comoys to a good friend and several BSP pipes to another. But the pipes that Ron of RdPipes made...those I will never get rid of under any circumstance.
They are the best smokers that I have including those 1960 Comoys back...
Dogs are the best people I know. We have had 4 rescues and they were a blessing to both me and my wife. We just rescued a 12 year old Yorkie whom no one seemed to want because of her age. Being old ourselves, we understand and decided to adopt her...she is a total delight, sleeps in the bed...
While I haven't been on in a coons age...I just had to tell you what beautiful work your brother-in-law does. Still enjoying the knives that Blackhorse put together for me...told my son-in-law that I left them to him when I finally leave this earthly plane.
