I no longer lament!

When I heard Italian pipe maker Tommaso Spanu passed away last fall I lamented never getting around to buying one of his cork wrapped pipes.
Always hoped that some day down the road one might show itself and that day in the road was today.
I nabbed a lightly smoked T. Spanu cork with original bag and box in the exact shape I would have purchased, dang!

I didn't know he passed. That's too bad he made some very interesting pipes. Nice grab

Hey Banjo, you post photos of your new pipes quite often and I LOVE seeing them, but the question MUST be asked. Exactly how many pipes do you have, Smokey?!?!

Great looking pipe fish. I didn't hear anything about him passing. I bought one of his pipes back in 2001 or so. It was a fine smoker.

That pipe was destiny. How many? Don't ask. By some quirk of physics, after a certain point, pipes are impossible to count.

Ah yes, the Quantum Effect Of Pipe Mass that I've heard so much about, the point where the value for pipes becomes infinite and reality slips away.

That pipe is beautiful! Going by all the pictures you post, it suits you, too. Looking forward of a picture of you smoking this one (with the identity of what you smoked in it first). ::
