I limped down the stairs like an arthritic 51 year old on Christmas morning.

| I so love a case. I was quite surprised by the size its huge. Built like a guitar case. |
 |
| Fits the case very nicely. |

| He's a good looking fella. I like the hole between his head and the sash on his turban |
 |
| What a profile. |
 |
| If i trimmed my beard and had a turban. At least we have the same color beard. |

| Nicely tapered bowl. The last time it will be this white ever. |
 |
| Great detail and its a sitter. |
 |
| My first Lucite bit. |
 |
| The first bowl gently packed and not to full. Smoked wonderfully. Very cool. |
After 7 bowls.
I am going to smoke this pipe a lot.
I want to see some colour.
I have only handled it with cotton gloves.
Not sure if i can keep it up or not.
It would feel so good in the hand.
Some say just have clean hands.
Now to become educated about waxing meerschaum pipes.
Last but not least my thanks go to Hobo Hoot for this incredible gift.
It will be become a true friend.
Great photo's and great post. I can't wait 'till the colour starts to show, yours will overtake mine very quickly indeed. I wonder if you'll get it to the dark brown/black stage? I saw one once that had gone black and almost translucent looking, must have been smoked for 40 years, incredible. But back to yours, one day you'll look at it and realise there is colour there, very exciting :) GO GO GO!

ReplyDeleteLol @ HD. Yours does have more elaboration than mine in terms of texture and detailing on the bottom etc. I wonder if it was an apprentice piece? Be cool if it was, would seem to fit...
