Guess I’m slow, I don’t see it. You care to point it out, thanks. I'm waaayy too new around here to do that. My previous post in reference to poorly shaped calabash pipes is about as far as I'm going on this limb. Sorry my friend. No problem, I still don’t get it....not a big deal. |

OK. The question was, love them or hate them... I love some of them - some of them look amazing, but does no one else see what I see? I don't want to offend so I'll not write it here. But what I've seen I can't unsee. I didn't see nothing but nice pipes. |

Paddy, what is it that you’ve seen that you can’t unsee? It’s so bad you don’t want to offend someone?!?!?!? We’re all grown ups here, you can say what it is. Yo Paddy, you want to answer my question?? Do you see something I don’t? Dear Ted A few years ago a member at PM posed the question whether he was defective for not liking sandblasted finishes. He posed the question: " I can't get over the texture. It looks like testicles, or elephants, or the skin on your elbow. I like those nice smooth pipes with lots of woodgrain. Should I just commit myself, or what?"   |

I like all pipes as long as they smoke well👍 Sorry you have to work on a Saturday, hope your getting time and a half...at least. |

Unfortunately no time and a half for me. Working Saturdays/after hours when needed is included in my remuneration package. Not complaining, just bloody tiring and inconvenient sometimes. Have a good day. |

But what I've seen I can't unsee. If you are suggesting that my pipe looks like a testicle, you are not the first. I do not see it, but I probably haven't seen as many testicals as you. |

Ahem, I tend to avoid looking at em close up. Apparently some of the fellars in my age group arent quite as versed in their avoidance. *Good natured ribbing intended, I consider you all friends and this is something I would call my buddies out on. |
