Perhaps Berriman is chucklng somewhere over us and this discussion. He probably binned 100's that didn't sell and was bitter to the very end.- ssjones

Show Us Your Falcons!
I'm fairly pleased with the construction and function of a briar/vulcanite tobacco pipe, but I understand that the flexibility of multiple bowl options could be appealing. But for me, the plastic stem is the deal breaker, much like MM pipes, that have not been modded. For me, life's too...- ssjones

I bought this beauty from Ryan at the New Orleans show. It was just a tad too big, I think someone here now owns it. -

I meant applied the Perfeccion cap and made the case to fit. Or: Based on the ad copy above, their bent pipe came in a fitted case. I wonder if some industrious owner decided his premium Comoy's pipe would be a better home for the tamper and it just happened to fit the Perfeccion case?- ssjones

Great detective work! I guess that was an option add on, but comes with a fitted case. I wonder if Comoy's did the work?- ssjones

MKELAW's Online Store is Closed…
I never met him, but he seemed like one of the good guys. I bought a couple of pipes from him over the years. This Ashton Pebblegrain is my favorite. I watch every Ashton pipe that comes up on eBay and I've never encountered a similar Ashton. -

French Oom Paul Project
Thanks, I didn't know how to phrase that. Multiple drills and the small one on top of the draft hole went slightly deep to create a divot. I don't think that is unusual on a deeply bent pipe.- ssjones

Try a heavier piece of solid core wire, something is likely just stuck in there.- ssjones
