Take a look: are these pipes worth a darn?

The temptation was more than I could take, SOLD to the Bum in Portland! Thanks for the help fella's.
Third time in the cart was the last, can't wait.

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...

So it seems like @Haebar 's costing all of us money...

I actually popped for two, a Stanwell HCA I MIA 9mm, and A Big Ben Bora Black 576.

Well you needed a couple more pipes to... round out your rotation... or something.
No worries though, now your collection is looking pretty good! In fact (but for maybe one more pipe) it's complete!

You DO have at least one gourd calabash, don't you? :D

No ,no, no....

Don't forget TAD, I bought 10 oz of Louisiana Perique Flake among other things.
Figure I'm safe tho, I've never tried a VaPer I didn't like and SG and GH tobaccos are usually excellent - although I don't care much for the Lakeland topped ones.

Well the search for an army mount pipe continues...

Got my order in from P&C today just to find out the Stanwell is indeed a fake army mount.
Its just a regular mortise and tenon under an 'army mount looking ferule'
This after sending an email (to no avail) prior to the order to verify that it was indeed a true army mount.
How disappointing. I'm sending this back...

Have you looked into the Peterson Irish Made Armys? I had one at one time and it was nice... Have no idea what happened to it, but it had a plain old silver cap on the briar and a tapered stem that fit quite well.

I did but the only ones I found were 'system' pipes and I didn't want one of those. Savinelli makes a few 'spigot' pipes but IDK if they're also fakes. Plus it seems they don't have a straight that I've found.
