I just purchased 4 pipes and I have a question about one. This is a Charatan's Make "Perfection". A beautiful flame grained with birds eye on the front of the bowl. But Charatan's has been struck over with x's. Is this the way they treat their rejects? I can see no flaws in this pipe. Once I get it cleaned I am looking forward to trying it out. Any ideas shedding light on the x's will be appreciated. Thanks to all.
