[QUOTE="Dock, post: 41922, member: 33"] Let me tell you folks a story: Several years ago a friend of mine arrived at the Chicagoland pipe show early on Thursday. He was walking around the resort and saw a pipe maker he knew sitting at a table loaded with pipes with another man in an empty ballroom. This man makes incredibly expensive pipes! As he knew him, my friend went in to say hello. The carver was handing the pipes to the other man while he stamped them. They were grading the pipes right there on the spot! That looks like a "so and so" grade and this looks like a "something or another" grade.... The carver who was noticeably embarrassed promptly escorted my friend from the room and closed the door...
