A Great Wife, A Whimsical Yanik Pipe, & A Merry Christmas

[shanez]

So a few days ago my wife had asked me to look for a pipe I wanted for a Christmas present. I had shown her one that was in her price range but she asked me to make sure there wasn't another one I might prefer. After dinner tonight she brought up the subject again and I mentioned I was waiting to sell my rental house before buying one I really liked. She knew if I was waiting to buy it that it was out of her range.

She said she would be willing to pay for part of it if it was one I really wanted. I told her the price and she said she'd pay for half. I sent her a link to it and she absolutely loved it and since she was paying half I didn't have to wait to order it.

Wow, that’s a work of art, I would have a hard time putting flame to that, but it definitely would be prominently displayed.

Very intricate carving work!

I can't imagine looking at a pipe and saying to my wife, "we just have to sell a house to get it".

That's how I feel...I don't think I'd smoke it.

That is a cool looking pipe. I like it a lot.
