So - my cash flow problems have been resolved (i.e. it's payday at my new job!). To celebrate, I headed on over to my local B&M to pick out a celebratory pipe to commemorate being gainfully employed once again.
So after looking through the Crowns, Rossis, and Bjarne Viking Classics, I found a selection of Stanwell Zebranos. Sold!

The bowl is deceptive - looks almost dainty, but I can fit my index finger inside easily, to just beyond the first joint (so just over an inch deep).

Looks delicate yet substantial, the transitional piece at the bit is cool as heck, and, as a Stan, it should be a great smoker. Nice pick up, enjoy!

Great pipe phred! I purchase two Stanwells on ebay during the last couple of months. Love them both.

I think we'll be doing a bit of yardwork tomorrow morning - I'll have to fire up some Luxury Bullseye Flake and see how it does with that... :puffpipe:

The LBF worked nicely. Had to relight a few times during the first half of the bowl as I was working on the back yard drip irrigation system and wasn't paying full attention to the pipe. On the other hand, I also managed to resuscitate what I thought was an extinguished light a couple of times, so I'm making progress there. Once we got the lines all hooked up, we let the new sprinkled run for 15 minutes while I finished the bowl, and it smoked like a dream...
