what is your latest pipe purchase

[Pipe Smoker]

I bought a used Italian pipe on SmokingPipes.com this evening. It has ALL of the characteristics that I've been looking for:

* Good condition (4.95/5, lightly smoked).
* My favorite shape (squat bulldog).
* Smooth finish with darkish color, decent grain.
* Straight stem.
* Broad (0.83"), shallow (1.20") chamber.
* Thick bowl walls.
* Straight-up bowl (no forward cant).
* Acrylic bit.
* Good weight (1.5 oz).
* Respected maker (Luciano).

I don't have the time and patience to maintain vulcanite bits. And, since I'm a holder, vulcanite bits have no benefit for me. It's as though Luciano made this pipe just for me!
