I see your point, Ron, but Italian makers, for one, do this all the time. Ever look at Castello shapes, for example? Love how they can "ruin" a classic shape. It's like they don't give a damn, and neither do their buyers, apparently. How about the old Charatans? Wish I still had an old bent pear I could show you. Looked like a spastic with astigmatism shaped it. Even the bit, as I remember, was a warped oddity. In any event, can't wait for number 20, or even 11.

Yes but, theirs are done on purpose and mine are just fricken brain farts.

" Is this a BETTER reply that's to your liking ? :twisted: :twisted:

Now there's an offer that you shouldn't let pass by, Ron, done out of compassion and pity. A true gentleman, that there Monbla guy. No man stands as tall as when he stoops to help a no-talent pipe maker. :clown:

Hey, nothing wrong with that at all. That's all I want is honesty.
And honestly, I won't sell nor give any pipes away I don't see worthy of selling.
So you'll all have to wait till I finally make one that passes my okay.......don't hold your breaths now.
