[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 521673, member: 2318"] Over here you have a form for functional pipes — it has check marks for eye appeal, minimal obvious defects, doesn’t whistle when you draw on it, takes a cleaner etc etc. Over here you have a piper who really knows his stuff, can spot an imperfection, knows perfect briar when he touches it to his forehead, has drilling that might have been done by a surgeon and buys mostly from the most inspired, well connected carvers. The former pipes could be entirely satisfactory companions out on the deck as you watch the sun set. The latter have checks in all the functional check boxes AS WELL AS lots of other boxes Mr. Functional might never have thought of. I’ve often admired and coveted High Enders, but at heart I’m strategically easy to please. I’m the kind of pipe smoker who likes a rugged rustication, because he’s less likely to drop it. Your ideas may vary . . . [/QUOTE]
