Where are the PICS!?
C'mon gents, show off those new pieces. IPSD comes but once a year!

I didn't get these on sale, but here are my two newest pieces i had shown in another thread:

Not buying anything for it this year.

Oh look!

I never had a Savinelli 320 KS before - although I always wanted one. I have been eyeing two @ Smoking Pipes for quite some time. I eventually pulled the trigger on one of them. Since I get 10% of Savinelli all the time, the extra 5% is not much, but a penny saved is a penny earned.
While I am almost done buying tobacco till I smoke some which I already have, I still stocked up on 10 tins of various different GL Pease tobacco which I have not tried before.
Overall good ?

Already have one. Mine was $26 unsmoked and doesn't have that ghastly acrylic stem.

I have it on good authority that plans for great debauchery on IPSD are being laid in the great white north.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I do however have this going on.

I've made them before, but that photo is a commission.

One I made years ago.

Oh. You're open to commissions, now?

Nope, no longer carving, arthritis is too bad. I've got someone working on their interpretation of a pipe I was going to ask of Bruce before he passed away.

Well shucks.

Well, took advantage of the commercialisation of such a fine date and ordered a lighter and some filters from tobaccopipes.com. 20% discount almost covered the cost of the shipping.

Yeah, but that means what, really? Marching out into the streets in cohort formation smoking pipes? Or just making sure you smoke a pipe on that day? Mind, most here already do the latter... every... single... day.

Commerce seeps into everything, though. February the 14th used to be Saint Valentine's feast day, and look at the unbridled and shameless commerce fest it has become as a result of the deplorable plethora of sappiness that passes for 'love' and 'romance' nowadays.

Let's do it. Massive marches down the streets, smoking our pipes and puffing in unison, tampering synchronously in time. WE could do it. And the world would be astonished.

It would devolve into chaos five minutes in as pipe smokers are the most argumentative tobacco users I can think of. Someone would notice someone lighting a pipe a different way, smoking too fast, or something of that nature and a war would break out.

Yes it’s gonna look awesome with one guy marching down the middle of the street.

Yes, but his pipe will be so magnificent, that's all anyone will remember.

I’ve been told I have a magnificent pipe.

I did the same in as much as I stocked up on pipe cleaners and Zippo fluid.
