@chico good choice on the 999 Dracula, I love mine. I've been averaging at least 1 package a week for quite some time now. But, I answer to no one but myself. Good to hear, thanks! I got the sandblast which somehow looked better to me than the smooth. I'm not a huge fan of the Rhodesian/Bulldog grooves on the bowl, but liked how it looked with the sandblast. I was also tempted by the 03 but for some reason think that shape looks better in photos than in real life. Semi-back on topic: it's a cool enough looking pipe that it managed made my wife jealous! She seems to be a Peterson fan because she also liked a Carlingford Halloween billiard I picked up recently. She's not a fan of Stanwell, apparently, calling my Black Diamond 406 "bulbous and stupid-looking". She's an artist and former designer, so she has some very definite aesthetic opinions! |

I got the sandblasted version as well  I never get asked what comes in the mail, but they're always curious why I buy so many mason jars. They probably think I have a still somewhere |

Matthew said: "Tell her it's a pre-investment in a future black market of tobacco products."
That's what I tell her and then show her the prices for McClelland (and my tub full of McC.) and the prices they are selling for.
Not that I'm interested in selling it.
Keeps everyone happy.

Big negative there. Because of marriage problems I'm currently at my dad and step moms place. That's who I was referring to with "they."

I really don't ever have too much of a problem in this regard but when I do I resort to the path of least resistance. But as I say she gives me very little grief over tools and pipe stuff oh and also guns ![]()  |

"when can we slow down the constant flow of tobacco and pipe stuff to this house? You get packages multiple times a week..." Mean while, we'll be paying over $300 to move a piano in next week - "Well, that's just one piano! You tons of crap that keeps arriving." For Pete's sake. Since you've "Got" the question,,,,KEEP IT ! Don't let the dang thing out for our wives to get hold of. |

But as I say she gives me very little grief over tools and pipe stuff oh and also guns ![]() Gun buying can make pipe and tobacco buying look like chump change. I have a buddy that has been buying guns for at least 30 years, his last one alone he has about 14k with it in optics... he literally does have an arsenal. |

I would, but then the $100+ orders would get noticed...
If you can work that out, free shipping generally saves you the cost of a tin of tobacco for each order.... I typically never buy unless I can get free shipping, but then again you have to do what works for you... we all live under different circumstances

I don't have an arsenal but I have a few I have to laugh when the news will show a story of the police confiscating guns from criminals and they call it an Arsenal, and you see a couple Hi Points, and the whole lot is half a dozen guns... |

Agreed! You gotta give HiPoint credit they do go bang although they are impossible to disassemble and have got to be one of the ugliest pistols made What gets me is any black gun is either as assault rifle or a Glock I guess fact checking on liberal news ain't that important. |

This is funny. I had a $150 cash back voucher for Amazon which I needed to spend by midnight, and only had about an hour. Most of the books in my wishlist are $10-20, so since time was running short I added the most expensive one to my cart ($42), then wondered if maybe they have pipes. They do! So I added a Peterson Dracula (999) which I've been wanting for a while. I showed off my order to my wife and she looked at me coyly and said in all seriousness, "next time you have a bunch of free money on Amazon, will you get me something?" I reminded her that I actually did ask her if there was anything she wanted but she couldn't think of anything.  "But I did, dear. I just got you this wonderful Peterson Dracula".
