New Pipe Day

Lucky you -- not only the twin scores, but to have a pipe shop! Years ago I had 3 or 4, 1 a Tinder Box in my local mall and 2 down in the neighborhood where I grew up. Now, my eye must rove among the 'Net stores. (There are 2 estate billiards out there right now that are whispering my name. . . .)
Two very nice pipes. I can't admire too long or my PAD will reignite.

I'm am indeed happy to have a local shop. The manager is a friend of mine and is super knowledgeable. He can pull out any pipe (new or estate) and can tell you about both the pipe and the maker. It's cool to have someone that passionate about pipes.
You can't put a price on that. Those are the shops I seek out and don't mind shelling out the B&M fees.
One of the estate billiards I had in mind when I wrote above arrived today. I probably won't get to smoke it until tomorrow at the earliest, and Saturday morning at the latest. Grrr. Like buying a new plastic model kit on Friday, and not being able to start painting it until Saturday afternoon!
Still: New Pipe Day!

Pics brother!
Soon!
A pic of my new Jeantet estate billiard with the horn stem:
I smoked a bowl of Sir Walter Raleigh in it on Saturday morning. An excellent session, and the pipe feels substantial without being heavy.

Clever re-purposing of a tape dispenser!
I needed some way to prop the pipe up, and that heavy metal dispenser has been tape-free for a couple of weeks, so . . .
I may end up stealing that idea in the near future.

Remember to forget me!
I just don't buy pipes that fall over. Makes life much eaiser 
Nice looking pipe though

Actually it does have a flat spot at the bottom of the bowl, and will sit up. But I couldn't take a decent picture of it that way.I just don't buy pipes that fall over. Makes life much eaiser
