| I just got this beautiful pipe this morning. Carved in the Czech Republic by Pavel Hodula and sold by Jan Zeman (zemanpipes.com). As soon as the mail-lady drove away, I took some pictures and loaded it up with C&D Riverboat Gambler. I smoked it to ash without a relight and it barely got warm in my hand.

| | Gorgeous! Can't blame you for wanting to break it in right away. |

| Appears to be one of those all-too-rare symmetric partially rusticated pipes. I hope it smokes as fine as it looks.

$120 (shipped)
I think it was a terrific value.  |

| I agree that it was a terrific value--that's a great looking pipe regardless of price. _________________ The World's Leading Collector of Chedda Pipes. So far...#25, #32 & #39. |

| | Very fine pipe. Like the design & the thick walls. Must be a very cool smoker. For $120 you got something very special. I look forward to seeing some more of his work. |
