I think you deserve to get yourself a commissioned pipe to your own specifications.
Oh, I forgot, nice going on the exam!
What are you planning on doing legal wise?
My own daughter passed the Illinois and PA bar within the last 2 years. She's working with Earth Justice.

Welcome to the Bar.
When I passed the exam 20+ years ago my lovely bride bought me a very nice lighter, engraved appropriately. Nice thing a bout a lighter, as opposed to a pipe, is that it comes to hand for every pipe, and so sees more use than a given pipe in your rotation.

I don't think I got myself anything when I passed. I was still poor. Just started my first job at P&G in 1991 for $56K/year. Yoo hoo!!!
Don't tell people you're a lawyer. Your wife will do that. Isn't there a model of a pipe called a Barrister? I feel sure there is.
But as others have said, any handsome billiard will do, a Dunhill if you have any money left after law school, but a handsome
Chocam or BC will do nicely too ... or Britannia, Savenelli, Peterson, Johs, etc. etc. Congratulations. Both my grandfathers had
law degrees, and one practiced his whole career, and the other ran his family real estate business. I thought seriously of law
school as I was rocking around in the fleet during the Vietnam war, but ended up a a graduate program in writing, on the GI
Bill.

Thank you all for the well wishes, recommendations, and most of all the laughs. Great to see so many lawyers on this forum. It is proof that lawyers are not as bad as people say!
The only thing I want from my bankers is a calendar every year and for my lawyers to be back in their coffins by sunrise.... (Ross Johnson in Barbarians at the Gate)
I use that line whenever an opportunity presents itself!
Congratulations. I suggest a dated Dunhill for 2014 in the style of your choice.

Congrats to all the new lawyers! My youngest son is in his final year at Boston College Law School, and will be following your path next year. I'd like to tell you about all the intersting and rather remarkable things he's done as a law student/intern these past couple of years, but that would be bragging--and anyway--this is really about you--the new lawyers, to whom a great deal of praise is due for your hard work and diligence. Our society is greatly enriched by you.
One of those $2500 custom jobs should do just fine. You should be able to bill double that your first month!! :roll:
BTW - congratulations!!!

Congratulations on the beginning of an extremely challenging career.
I the same situation, I'd pick me up a Davidoff, and some really nice suits!

A new one with 2014 on it. Something nice, to be well taken care of. Something comfortable to help thoughtful reflection, but most of all something with balance and symetry, to remember to be fair and just.
Congratulations.
I like @tslex's idea too.

Congratulations!! No Lawyer worth his salt would be without a traditional Dunhill.... Get yourself one and enjoy it. All the rest are just fluff.
Good on you, LB.
Buy something that will resonate through the years.
Our friend, Tslex, made an excellent suggestion, but if you opt for a burner, that solitary pipe stand Klause threw out is a wonderful idea.
