what is your latest pipe purchase

[Pipe Smoker]

Woo hoo! I just bought a new pipe! I need another pipe about as much as I need another hole in my head. But when I saw this Ardor Urano Rhodesian estate pipe on SmokingPipes I knew that I had to have it:

Italian Estates Ardor Urano Rhodesian with Boxwood (DR) (2019) | Buy Italian Estates Tobacco Pipes at Smokingpipes

It has ALL of the characteristics I like in a pipe:

* Straight, not bent.
* Relatively broad, shallow chamber.
* Thick bowl walls that won’t get too hot (I’m a holder).
* Low-maintenance acrylic bit.
* Smooth, easy-to-clean rim.
* About the right length.
* Looks beautiful (in my eyes).

Its condition is described as “Smoked but rather clean.” I’ve purchased several of their estate pipes that were so described, and each of them was, in fact, unsmoked. The views of this pipe makes it clear that it’s unsmoked too. I’d have kicked myself if I’d let it get away.

I also ordered ten 50g tins of Capstan Medium (blue tin label) Flake. One of the few Virginia flakes that still come in the small compact-storing rectangular tins. Should arrive next week.

Nice!
I find you ALWAYS 'need' another pipe

Where've you been? Thought maybe you were suffering a bout of the CoVids or something.
