Take a look: are these pipes worth a darn?

Don't forget to also search for "army mount."

[Ropey]

Know that one of those is a FAUX spigot slash army mount. I forget which one. Turned me off from buying it. The metal on the shank doesn't actually go inside and the stem contacts wood.

EDIT:

Here's a quote from a site...

"*The Stanwell take on the Army Mount, like many European makers now really should not be classed as such. The use of the 9mm filter makes it almost impossible to use a true army fitting. A standard 9mm filter tenon is used to hold the mouthpiece to the pipe, with the nickel band just acting as a decorative feature.*"

No, we pipers 'sip'

Sip, suck, whatever. I bought the stupid pipe thanks to you jerks.

Yeah, I've seen a few of those around. That would tick me right off. I don't want the 'army mount look' I want an actual army mount. I could really care less what it looks like

Can't stop looking at the Stanwell HCA MIA, I've had it in my cart a couple times. I have eight pipes, but $90+ off, free lighter, free calendar, and free shipping. Damn it it's more than I can bare!

Buy it and we can be HCA brothers! I just picked up the M1, like I needed another pipe.

[Alligator Gar]

Dang you, that Red 29 is a tugging at my pocket!

Right? That Red 29 jumped out at me, too. Also liked the grain on the Prince, even with the void between grains, assuming this is the site that sells you the pipe that's pictured. Go get you that Red 29, Alan!

Ahh quitcher whinin'. I bought the red 52
Like I needed it

I blame this all on @Haebar for his review of G&H Louisiana Perique Flake which sent me to the P&C site in the first place...
