This is going to be an accessory month.
  1. S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 - Limited Edition Fuente Opus X black lacquer edition
  2. S.T. Dupont Rare German made Brushed metal finish double guillotine
  3. Zino Platinum Palladium Snips German made double guillotine. (Really interested to see how this one turns out, given the ridiculous price)
  4. Xikar Enso in Blue
  5. Xikar HP4 in Blue
 
I did my taxes this weekend and I owed a lot 😫. To relieve my sorrows in typical ‘Merica style - I did a little retail therapy and picked up:

1. A new old stock (from a dealer that had it gathering dust on a shelf) French made S.T. Dupont single guillotine black Chinese laquer Opus X limited edition from 2005 to match the Ligne 2 Opus X lighter from the set I ordered last week.
2. A matching black and white porcelain Opus X ash tray.
3. An S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 in brushed Palladium to match the brushed double blade guillotine I picked up last week.

Matchy matchy.
 
Got tired of waiting around for a decently priced Castello 55 so I commissioned a '55'-esque leadwood/mopane pot shaped pipe with straight vulcanite stem, military mount, and burl insert from carver Jan Pietenpauw. He asked if I would prefer a smooth or rough finish pipe. I replied "surprise me" and (after several days of exquisite email silence) he surprised me with the picture below showing one of each.. Pipes are en route to MI currently resting in a Spanish sorting center via South Africa. More pics on his website gallery in the pot section under 'Gemini'. No connection/affiliation. His pipes 1st appeared on my radar a few years back after a post by @KWilliams40 if memory serves..

Very Nice! I see his pipes on IG from a number of different makers and well known people in the pipe community. You did well!
