[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 232938, member: 2165"] Definitely a great piece. I don't think anyone would look at any of the pipes in my collection and say "I [i]have[/i] to get one like it." And I don't really care - I respect the work high-end pipemakers are doing, and there are a few that I'd like to add to my collection for my own personal reasons; I think what I like most about the pipe hobby is that it's honest (if that makes any sense at all) - getting caught up in the jargon and turning it into a sort of status symbol among a relatively small community is exactlty what I'm NOT looking for. The last paragraph really says it all...what's wrong with smoking what you like, in the pipe you want, and just enjoying it for what it is? Still...if I ever see a "razor-grained pierced-elephant-blowfoot-squashed-fishdog," I'll probably have to buy it. :D GLP also gets bonus points for the article's title. [/QUOTE]
