I have been in search of a Cherrywood for my collection. At the same time I have been eyeing Cavicchi pipes. When this beauty came up for sale: Cavicchi Cherrywood. I wanted it bad. By the time I got home and was ready to purchase it for my own, it was gone. Whomever was lucky enough to get this pipe, may you enjoy it to the fullest knowing that I am quite envious.

I wish I could say it was me. When I saw that pipe yesterday I immediately regretted having spent so much on tobacco in the last couple weeks. Then I looked at my stash of aged tobaccos and all was well again :) But still, I'm going to set aside the dough for a Cavicchi cherrywood/poker the next time so this doesn't happen again. Of course you know this means war. Haha, jk... but seriously :D

Hopefully another pipe similar to the one you like can be obtained so that you can be its new owner. Most shops should be willing to order one for you.

This isn't a cherrywood, but it sure is pretty.

I know the feeling. My wife and I were on vacation in Iceland this year and a block or two away from our hotel there was a pipe shop. We didn't see it until our second to last day, or rather our last night there. There was a Stanwell pipe in the window that I wanted badly. When I went by the next day before we left that side of the country it was closed. In the middle of the day in the middle of the week :(
I hope another opportunity comes your way.

Being subject to Murphy's law, I have often been a day late and a dollar short when that dream pipe shows up just out of my grasp. I feel your pain, brother. :cry:

Yeah It has happened to me many times in the past. The worst was an Ardour that I had finally gathered the courage to spend the money on. I cracked the computer on, checked the bank statement and then went to smokingpipes to buy my first pipe over $200.00 and near cried when I noticed it was gone. No worries...another will come along soon.
