If you don't like them, I will buy them from you!
Fat chance he won't like it. It's a Mum endorsement and Jimmie has a pretty good track record. I love mine and despite being a cherished gift that's as good of a recommendation as you will ever find.
I have heard lately there have been some flaws issues with a few of them. Hopefully, everything works out as they are a great bargain for the price.
Just picked a couple up. My don salvatore V is starting to chew good sticks up.
