[QUOTE="Lesath, post: 159683, member: 1862"] In regards to your potential buyers remorse, I suggest giving the MacQueen a chance. It's been well over a year ago, that I had determined I needed one. I ordered the Wizard with a briar bowl and waited a little over six months to take delivery. MacQueen was very communicative and presented me with a half off coupon for a future purchase, due to the excessive wait. As for the pipe itself, I can say that in appearance, it was exactly what I expected. Performance wise, I will start by saying that current manufacturing practices no longer place the drilling in the center of the bowl, it is in a more traditional location. The first bowl I loaded was Escudo, with the intent of taking my time. I found it an enjoyable smoke, my suggestion being to look upon the MacQueen as a sipping pipe. Oddly, when I purchased it, I intended to use it in the Winter months for latakia blends; I use it exclusively with Virginias, as it worked so well off the line. I do suggest that you follow the instructions included for the maintenance. As I recall, you opted for the cherry wood bowl. This will take longer to break in, so be sure to take your time; after all smoking a pipe is leisure time. I hope you grow to enjoy your new pipe, and congratulations. [/QUOTE]
