[QUOTE="Briar Spirit, post: 390788, member: 2669"] Now this does surprise me I must say, Petersons high-end pipes tend to have flawless Briar, the grain may not be as nice as some folk might prefer even with their straight grain pipes but that's just the nature of the Briar and personal preference to aesthetics. Some mid-range Pete's have fills in them that much I am aware of but the same can be said for many manufacturers, I wish manufacturers would leave the pits in the Briar well alone and leave the pipe 'honest and true'. Some folk wont touch a pipe with a pit in it with a barge pole but many folk who wont touch a pipe with fills in it respect the honesty of pits left showing, I for one am rather partial to pipes with flaws such as pits and weird grain, not so keen on a pipe having HUGE craters in them but that Briar should have been tossed in the bin not turned into a pipe. I know that quality control had slipped in recent times with Petersons, I had a 317 which had the drilling so far off centre it was almost in the side of the chamber, still smoked like a champion though, I honestly thought Petersons had resolved the quality control issues, perhaps I am mistaken.
