HCA Has Been Ordered

[romanza10]

I finally got some scratch together and placed an order for a pipe I've been eyeing for awhile. A Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson.
Here is the link from SmokingPipes.com.
I ordered it today and got free ground UPS shipping. I will post pics of it when it arrives. I'm very excited about it because it can be a Churchwarden or a bent Dublin. Also, the Dublin shape is one I've been wanting for awhile now. It's like I killed two birds with one stone. I intend to dedicate it to Vas and Va/Pers, some of my favorite smokes. Particularly McClelland Personal Reserve Blackwoods flake one of my all time favorites, and St. James Woods.

Very nice choice. Good luck with it and happy smoke rings.

I like that HCA a lot. Nice score!

Very nice. I own a HCA and it is a great pipe, though I don't use the long stem (but nice to know I have one if I feel the urge). Congrats.

That's one graceful and elegant pipe, more so with the churchwarden stem, but I love the bowl and the grain and the white (or silver, can't tell) band.

Looks nice. I was torn between the III and the VI. When the only one I found was the III, I jumped on it. Waiting for nicer weather to get outside and enjoy it some.
