Damn man, your lucky to have been able to check that place out in person. Only have seen pics. Forget the lady who runs it name, but I've heard she really knows her shit and obviously has much more inside info than me. That said, I'm sure they use the same glass...maybe you were there when german and us roor weren't exactly getting along the greatest? But yeah, if germany did percs or any other nice tubes that were easily available in the states I'd rather get a german...neat to have one from the peeps who started it all.
