Congrats on a wonderful pipe! I am working on building a Heeschen corner, managed to get another one ( estate ) last week, bringing the total to three : a Cobra, a Blowfish, and an Egg ( similar to yours but sandblasted and with a green bowling ball Vulcanite stem ). Speaking of stems, it will behoove you not to clench, gnaw, chew, talk with the pipe in your teeth etc with a Heeschen. His stems are rather delicate. Definitely not a pipe to knock about doing yard work, or restoring estates for that matter. I noticed a little while ago my Egg has these little dimples on the stem now about halfway down from the button 8O
The draw is amazingly open, but in a smooth way, not "oh crap let me not get carried away puffing or I might suck tobacco". I noticed I have to pack a little tighter, and definitely use a charring light.
