First NEW Pipe in 5 years!

[PeriqueMyInterest]

Brand new Lorenzetti Nero! I can't wait to break this in this weekend!

And now my 3 pipe rack is finally full after all these (rather few) years!

[jasongone]

What an elegant take on the classic billiard. Enjoy it assaad! Do tell what you christen it with! :clap:

Also, is that a 9mm filter pipe? Paper or balsa?

 

[PeriqueMyInterest]

Thanks everyone! Dirtydex, I am either going to christen it with Peterson Reserve 2011, Pirates Passion (a light English) or Salt and Pepper (a delicious Perique blend) but I cannot wait to give it a smoke! Today is much to windy for a brand new pipe. Romeowood, it accommodates a 9mm filter but I do not care for them much so I left the adapter in. I bought this to commemorate the sale of my camera collection and banjo, to alleviate some moving weight; my next purchase will be next month to commemorate my move to Vancouver (actually Surrey), the completion of my first 1.5 years of University in one year, and the sad fact that I will no longer be needing the services of my favorite B&M in Edmonton because Vancouver has very nice shops, unlike Saskatoon. It is going to be a great summer!

Nice rustication on the Lorenzetti Nero. Always worth the wait!

First off: Great pipe

Second: How do you go five years without any PAD

 

[julesholling]

Beautiful pipe, congratulations :puffpipe:

 

[bowhatchie]

I would agree with all the previous comments... one well worth the wait... very handsome pipe it is..

 

[hauntedmyst]

That is a beautiful pipe and a grand way to reenter the pipe purchasing market!

 

[stacen]

Enjoy it friend looks like a great pipe.

Thank you everyone! Jimbo, I meant I would smoke the first bowl in it, not break it in entirely. Viceroy, I only went 3 years without feeding my PAD; I bought an estate for cheap a few years ago and this year I got a cob. I guess I should have said first new briar pipe. Anyhow, the pipe smokes great on the first 1/3 bowl, I chose Amphora Original for the first smoke. It was very pleasant and a very rewarding smoke after 5 years of no substantial pipe purchases.

Gorgeous! Army mount?

 

[PeriqueMyInterest]

Thank you standard, I'm not sure if it is an army mount. It is a push mount but I tend to think of army mounts more along the lines of a Peterson system pipe.
