PAD got the best of us as Cyndi really needed/wanted a new quality pipe and I celebrated with a pipe because I had just received a $4.50 raise at work.
Meet our new Butz Choquin Mirage pipes! Mine is a shape 1789 seen here:
And Cyndi's new Butz Choquin Mirage shape 1310.
That is a awesome pipe .
Very nice, Congrats!

Nice pipes and well deserved I'm sure, so what tobacco are you guys breaking them in with?
Wow! Smoke them in good health. 
Started them out with some Sutliff Molto Dolce. Dunno if I'll keep that in the pipe for the rest of the break in, but it's a really good aro. Definitely a dessert baccy.
Wow, rockin' grain on those pipes. I like the color of them too, is that a yellow stain? Or a really light brown? Either way, it brings out the grain really well. 
They're yellow with a dark brown tortoiseshell acrylic stem. Mine is a cross-cut with Birdseye on the side and Shaun's is a flame grain.
Nice pipes and congrats on the raise. I'd have to get more of a personality to rock them though.
Really nice, way to go.
Stunning pair of BC's with that yellow stain you two.
Enjoy them!
Excellent congratulatory gifts you two May they bring you many a fine smoke!
Sweet pipes !
Very nice, congratulations to you guys
Who doesn't like a pipe bought in celebration? Next time I get paid, I am thinking of buying a churchwarden to celebrate hitting my word count for National Novel Writers Month. Great looking pipes you two!
Nice pipes and congrats on the raise

Nice looking pipes! I have had a few BC pipes in my many pipe smoking years and everyone of them smoked hot. Others have said the same about BC pipes. I hope you don't have the same problems with these.

WOW!!! Very nice ... very, very nice!!!
And congrats big time on the pay raise too!!
Bob, I've smoked it twice so far and it actually smokes cooler than my Rinaldo. Maybe its one of those problems that the manufacturer fixed after complaints. At this point, I have no complaints and I'm thrilled with it! 
Edit: both bowls were with a very moist Sutliff aro. If it can handle that, I'm sure a higher grade tobacco will be fine.
Agreed. Actually, mine is a very cool smoker after the 2nd bowl.
Dude was that $4.50 an hour?
Congrats on the pipe too.
Yep, sure was! Surprised the hell outta me, too. I had been doing the work already, but I hadn't asked for a raise when I started doing the work. Figured, I'd prefer to prove myself and the $$ would follow. Seems to have paid off, lol.

At the restaurant, I am the only one of three line cooks that has been there longer than a year. We can't keep people longer than 6 months or so. I would have thought that would have been enough to deserve a raise, but sadly, not in the cards yet. 4.50 an hour is totally wicked. Congrats man!
Great pipes. Love the look. That's what prompted me to get my BC Daccord. As Bob mentioned though it tends to smoke pretty warm. Good to hear not every pipe by BC smokes hot. Might get another sometime down the line. Enjoy those two beauts.
Congrats on the raise and the rewards/celebration. Nice looking pipes.
I have a BC bulldog and it's a fine smoker; sounds like your will be too! 
Those are some nice looking pipes!
Those are some nice looking pipes!
WTG - I have several (cool smoking) BCs. For that matter, I have a mess of French pipes. They are very much Best Buys, especially estates.

I think it's fantastic that the two of you enjoy the same hobby and share your tobacco experiences. Good French Briars are where it all started in St. Claude France, the history is amazing, and if you get a chance to read about the old pipe factories I think you'll find it enjoyable. Congrats on your new BC's
