![]() ![]() And if you know of an even better Gandalf pipe for around $100, please feel free to link me to that as well. Also, If you know of a trustworthy retailer, a link would be appreciated. I'm pretty lost here, and I'd like your recommendation out of these two. So, if you've made it this far, thank you. (I'd prefer not to smoke a pipe that was made in some sweatshop somewhere). The only problems I have with this one are: It's shorter, I don't know what type of wood it's made from, and I don't know where it was made. The only thing close to a review I saw was on a forum site, and the poster said it was a smooth smoke. However, I cannot seem to find much information on it. The Hobbit: The Pipe Of Gandalf Functional Working Replica - Noble Collection Nevertheless, I do not wish to take even the slightest risk here, as I am not looking to waste any of my money. However, when I enter the Paypal payment option, Canada is on the list, so I'm confused as to whether they actually ship to Canada or not. I have also found it here which I have heard is a good place to buy it 3rd party, however it seems as though only the United States, and places such as islands associated with it are included in their dropdown list of places they ship to. I think it is possible that a factor in everyone's long wait is that after crafting and shipping, it still has to endure the complications of crossing borders, which it would not have to do to reach me. The only potential positive I see here is that MacQueen apparently manufactures the pipes in Aylmer, Ontario, Canada at a location that is only 2 hours from where I live. What's more, even if they were to actually send the pipe to me, I do not know if these retailers actually have the pipe in stock and ready to go, or if they order it from MacQueen when you place your order with them, in which case, it would take just as long or longer for me to receive it as if I ordered it directly from MacQueen. I have tried to order this pipe from 3rd party sellers such as EBay or Amazon, but neither of those seem to have it in stock, and I have read bad things about all other 3rd party retailers who sell this pipe (… or … such as people not receiving their pipe at all and having to opt for a refund. What's more, it seems as though people receive their pipe far after MacQueen said they would, and they seem to be dodgy as far as customer service inquiries, as I have read several accounts of people trying to E-Mail MacQueen, and only getting responses after 2 or 3 E-Mails, and on some occasions, no response at all. Apparently, customers of MacQueen have had to wait several months (from what I've seen, up to 7 and no less than 2) to receive their pipes in the mail after ordering them. As far as obtaining one, though, I have heard almost nothing but negative things about MacQueen's customer service and shipping dates. As far as quality goes, I've read both positive and negative reviews, however, the overwhelming majority seem to be positive. After much searching, I've found these two: That's why I'm searching for the perfect pipe that captures that Middle Earth feel, while boasting good quality for a reasonable price. I'd just like to say that I'm fairly new to pipe smoking, however, I'm a lifelong Tolkien fan, and head-over-heels in love with Middle Earth and its cultures.
