Then, comes the whole journey of learning to light your pipe, which, will ruin (IMHO) any briar pipes in it's path. Cobbs are $5-7 and really wont be too missed if you char the hell our of the rim when learning to light.
OP: Either way Jim, now you have two opinions. The Peterson is definitely snazzy!
