His pipes first came to my attention from time to time in the "what are you smoking" section and usually posted by @hoosierpipeguy -- and thanks!! I got a little antsy looking at pics over Thanksgiving, messaged him about how to contact Jose, and then contacted Jose and he sent me pics of available pipes and well, that was that. I saw one that I really liked and a week and a day later it showed up. Love the way it feels and I went with a shape outside what I thought was my "comfort" zone and I'm glad I did. Light and compact. Here it sits on the festive holiday tablecloth (pipes get to be there when I'm home for lunch, lol).
