The pipe arrived today in good order. It's much more of a chestnut brown than the pics indicate, which I like. It's one of those pipes where you're inclined to say to yourself, "This is too nice-looking even to think about bringing a flame near it."I pulled the trigger on a Dublin, a shape I don't have, and it's an unusual one at that:

This Butz-Choquin is lightly bent, also unusual for me. But I liked the crisp-edged heel of the bowl. . . .
I'm thinking I might hold off on trying out the pipe for an out-of-the-ordinary occasion -- but I don't have a birthday for a long while, and my planned retirement is more than two months off. We'll see. . . .
