I will get mine sent out by the end of the week. I apologize for sending later than I originally said. I had a very ugly family emergency and haven't even been to work in over a week.

I would like to comment on the pipe I received from Premal Chheda. It is a magnificent pipe. The drilling is spot on, the finish is nothing short of amazing. The tenon is very snug but is not of concern because it's a larger delrin tenon and is very durable. The mortise, end of the shank, as well as the face of the stem and tenon, are finished and polish superbly. The bit and button are nicely done. The airway in the stem is fanned and polished properly, though a little less than I preffer, it could be fanned wider and deeper, but that is just my preference. The design is awesome. It is a huge pipe, and is not a clencher. But it feels great in the hand and I will have no problem with holding this pipe while watching a movie, reading or drawing up some sketches. This thing smokes like a dream as well. Effortlessly, cool, and dry. The nomenclature is very nicely done reading CHHEDA USA 4 (I believe is the grade) 2014 PMF (Pipe Makers Forum)
A very special pipe added to my collection and a very good example for me on extraordinary finishing of details. THANK YOU! Premal, and Scottie for making this happen. I'm looking forward to the next challenging shape. I learned a lot from this, and that's what it is all about!
I have been putting of sanding the stem. There are a few things I will change with the next one I make, but overall I like the way it turned out.
