I was lucky enough to see a cool pipe go for pretty cheap on the 'bay a bit ago and snagged it. It was stamped "C. Morgan 08" and I wondered if it was one of Chris' pipes. I emailed him and he said it was. We emailed a bit more back and forth and I found out it was an early commission for a Bing-type pipe that the customer had never smoked and he even told me it was one of only 2 that he has ever made with a silver band. He was full of info and found it funny what I ended up paying for it.
On the downside I am almost afraid to smoke it. It's a briar artisan pipe...what if something goes wrong with this noob? The walls are thinner than I would like but I do have a couple thin-walled pipes that smoke fine. I guess it's just that aproach-avoidance thing that I'll get over soon enough.
Enough blah-blah. Here's a pic.
...and one with a Brebbia Iceberg for size comparison...
Sorry numbersix, I should have told you about it but I didn't even think.
