@Kevin Keith is on my last nerve and I want his monkey off my back. Helpabrudda!!
Search no more!
I gotcha covered

Just plundered my pipe stash found one and buffed it up real good so the natural grain will shine through for ya

I’ll pop it I. The mail tomorrow and hopefully you’ll be in with us cool cats for the Brylon challenge
Sooo... I'm feeling guilty.

Shortly after my post about the enabler known as @Kevin Keith , I jumped on Ebag to see what I could find on the cheap, with a location that would get it here pretty quick fast like. So I found one in less than perfect condition from NC, with a "make an offer" button and I threw a stoopid $11.15 bid on it. With $3.85 shipping it made it $15 bucks.

Then you sir, went and got all kind like you normally is, and I figured cool, great guy, nice pipes, throwin' a shine on it for me... I'll say yes. The guy will more 'n likely say no to my low-ball offer. I'm good.

Only the seller said yes. I feel like a jerk now. I mean I'm a jerk, we all know that... except for my granddaughter. But she'll figure it out soon enough poor baby.

So that said, I'm falling on my sword. I would still like to keep yours as it will have some meaning to it, as it's from a friend. Would you like the one off the bag when it comes? I'll gladly send it to you.
On a side note - I love getting good deals on eBay
It has been a few year now but remember finding a seller with a whole bunch of new old stock DrG Omega pipes and I scored a dozen of them for about the same price per pipe as a good corn cob pipe

You should probably get the one I sent you Tomorrow or Monday and I forgot to mention that you’d need to swab the bowl and stem out with an alcohol rub - I was in a hurry to get it boxed up and remembered that after the fact

No problem with your eBay WiN just clean that one up and smoke it too - everyone needs at least 2 space aged pipes and I have 3 🤣

I remember a thread from the old PSF. Brylon in a Dishwasher to clean it. I think it was @Kevin Keith who tried it. One of my favorite threads! :lol:
