Buy a Pipe From Manny Atilano

[DocAitch]

Many of you know mightysmurf8201 on this forum.
You may not know that Manny (Emannuel Atilano) is an active duty Coast Guardsman, and that the Coast Guard during peace time is part of the Department of Homeland Security, not the DOD.
These guys are not getting paid during this shutdown.
Consider ordering a pipe from Manny and paying for it up front.
I have one of his billiards and it is an excellent pipe, a regular in my rotation. Fit and finish are top rank, and his stem work is excellent. I actually purchased this pipe in Chicago after none other than George Dibos examined it and pronounced it fit to smoke.
This time around, I ordered a Bing.
We can’t fix everything about this shut down, but we can help one of our own.
If your pipe aquisition budget allows, order and pay for a pipe from Manny (and be prepared to wait a bit for it).
Moderator, if this is an innapropriate forum, feel free to move it, but put it where eceryone will see it.

Bumping this back up.
If your pipe aquisition budget allows it, consider ordering a pipe from Manny.(Emmanuel Atilano @atilanohandmade )
It will be a great pipe, and will help an active duty Coast Guardsman who is going to miss his second pay check due to the shutdown.
