Sid, nice looking pipe, how does it smoke? I have 2 Butz, one rather plain but huge bowl and smokes great. The other is gorgeous, super nice perfect straight grain, shank insert, and beautiful acrylic stem, but it smokes kind of hot. Had heard this about some Butz pipes but bought it anyway because of the "look" of it. Hope yours smokes well as it looks. And, you can show it off while supporting the "resistance" lol.

I have faced the same problem with one BC which i bought from german e-store, it's straight with nice looking mouthpiece but the bowl is getting hot very quickly and that disappointed me.
