I am still new to the pipe world so forgive my newbness.
I talked to the rep and I will def be getting one of each to try them out. Recently did a newbie sampler with a friend for 20+ pipe blends. Recently tried some aged 965 with was great!
Also met up and talked with Erik Nording for a while. Met him a few times but this was the first time I was able to discuss pipes with him and his son. I wasnt allowed to buy a pipe there since I did not have an account. We talked for about 30 minutes and discussed pipe making, materials etc. Super awesome guy as is his son.
As I was walking away he called out my name and gave me the simple churchwarden I was looking at.
That guy rocks. Not to mention he is absolutely insane(in a good way) and hyper and knows how to party. He will pretty much out drink anyone.
