I have seen a few posts since I came here recommending Norwoods. I was visiting another forum during my time away from puff and there was a real issue with Norwoods on a stem dot. I believe it was an Ardor or Ascorti stem dot. Anyway, the dot was way off center and looked like a beginner did it. Seems like quite a few people mentioned not to send a high grade pipe to them only cheapies or baskets, etc. Just thought I would mention it since it may come into play for one of the members here. I have used them for a meer tenon switcheroo years ago and it was fine. After reading that other forum I think I will go elsewhere in the future.
