As many of you know I entered a pipe in the KC contest. I didn't win, but had a great time doing it. I received it back last week and after much contemplation of whether to sell it, trade it, or keep it I went with the latter. It is only the second full pipe I have ever made, stem and bowl, and I figured that if I am out smoking my own pipe I might generate some more pipe business for myself too. Anyway I decided to keep it and smoke it and I fired it up for the first time at the West Georgia Pipe Club. Me and my buddy that I made the "Archeology" pipe for actually fired up our two pipes, made by me, for the first time together. It does smoke great and it is super fun to smoke something I made. Here is a pic of the pipe and of the inaugural smoke.
