I had a situation where a pipe maker approached me about one of his pipes. The deal was, he'd take a specified percentage off of any pipe I chose in return, I'd review the pipe and my experience with him. The whole thing was a bit of a challenge on both our parts because my wire transfer got lost somewhere in the process. All turned out well and not only did I end up with a great pipe, I made good on the deal. I think more than anything, the deal should at least be even. As a pipe smoker, I want to keep the hobby and industry running for a long time, therefore, supporting carvers and retailers is well worth it to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17653383.post-34736506339507160502011-10-22T02:17:14.104-04:002011-10-22T02:17:14.104-04:00This is why I no longer leave my Facebook open.This is why I no longer leave my Facebook open.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09267751181947987019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17653383.post-55146185619772368602011-10-21T19:49:53.145-04:002011-10-21T19:49:53.145-04:00Obviously Stephen does not know how lucky he is.

My husband is very busy making pipes for everyone else and I fear that I shall never get a handcrafted pipe of my own.

Hopefully they'll enjoy the rock (the very best one you've got in stock) they'll be getting in the mail.<br /><br />If enough makers become aware and do this the scammers will soon realise they're actually losing more money than they're making and that rocks are hard to sell.nemrodhttp://nemrod.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17653383.post-80565562039560030472011-10-20T18:19:43.018-04:002011-10-20T18:19:43.018-04:00So, there's no cobbler?

I swear, that story really resonated with me so I sent him my entire production at the time, consisting of three hemlock pipes, one I made entirely of acrylic, and one I hand poured from polyester resin. I only asked that he get back to me with a review but I never heard from him again....Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871045883385817953noreply@blogger.com
