When I was into pipe smoking back in the 80's/90's, I was a por man in the Navy raising a daughter and didn't have much money for my hobby. I bought the best pipes I could afford back then, mostly in the 30-40 buck range. There was an Ascorti New Dear bent egg that I always would admire in the shop, but never had the duckets to dump on it.
Well, I'm back to pipe smoking and now, at over 50, I have no family to raise and I have a job that, well, puts me well into the middle class. Guess what I found on SP? An Ascorti New Dear bent egg estate. The one I lusted for as a young man. I hope it smokes as well as I hope! Pictures when it gets here, and I'm going ot keep my eye out for that Ben Wade I wanted back then, too...
