I buy from SmokingPipes almost exclusively. If they accept your order, they have the stock on hand to fulfill it. Their pipe descriptions are the best, by far, and they'll refund your money if you return a purchased pipe - provided that you return it in as-received condition. I've done that with two pipes, just because I didn't like them in- hand. And they're friendly folks, too. It's a good idea to open an account with them.
