my most recent purchase was on a complete whim. i was eyeing up the drew estate tradesman pipe on cyber Monday at pipes and cigars since it is an exclusive to them. Didnt pull the trigger because i wanted my friend to pick a pipe out at cigars international that night for Christmas to get him into pipes. he picked one out that he loved but refused to let me buy it because of the price but he was eyeing up a second one that i am gonna get him without him knowing at a later time. while looking at the pipes i spotted the drew estate tradesman and it was down hill from there lol. i ended up buying it that night for myself as a early Christmas gift and i love that pipe. so far it smokes awesome i love the way it looks and love that it sits.
