Hey buddy!

Thanks guys! Bringing a tear to my eye (especially when I think of how good that Rinaldo smoked :nana: )
But I should really be thanking you guys. Most of you know I've been out of work awhile now. Every time you guys have picked up a pipe from me, you've let me buy one more tool to start making my own pipes, you've bought my groceries more than once, and you've all bought me a beer or two already !
I want to say THANKS to all of you, and I consider each and every one of you a real friend.

Uber, I've tried to sell that Ninno Rossi a few times and could never get what it's worth. I'd rather give it away to someone who appreciates it than just sell it for nothing. Out of everyone I know, this shape seemed to fit your style, and it sounds like I was right ! Enjoy !
Rick, it will be great to meet you at the show brother ! My flight is booked, room is reserved, all thats left is the countdown.
Two great pipes, and they couldnt have gone to two better people. I hope we can all meet up one of these days. Cyndi, I showed that picture of you smoking the Rinaldo to my wife. She said, Hey thats my Family Force 5 friend :D Shes going to see them tomorrow night with my Sister.
Puffer it was a pleasure doing business with you. I'm happy those pipes made it halfway around the world in good shape :D You'll have to post some pics if you end up making one into a churchwarden.
Toker, I've managed to sell nearly all but my personal collection at this point. I may put together enough for one more round, but I've got nearly all the tools I need to start making my own hand made pipes. Sometime in the next few weeks I'll finally get power to my little shop and get my tools set up, so keep your eyes open for the new R.E. Alden handmades that are going to sweep down on the pipe world like Ghengis Khan on Crank :lol:
Yeah, you can count on it. What I've been working on (in my head anyway) is a series that pays tribute to the native Tribes of Texas. I've got a cool idea for a Caddo pipe based on the shape of a wikiup.
If you havent noticed, I'm pretty proud of Texas. Some people think they wrote this commercial about me.

Lonestar, we'll definitely meet up someday.
Unfortunately, it's not going to be at Chicago this year. Due to finances, plus I just got hired permanent with the job I scored as a contractor 8 months ago. I have to wait 3 more months to start gaining vacation time and all the benefits, Maybe the Kansas City show or something else. We'll see.

I too have purchased several pipes and stands from Lonestar and have alway gotten an excellent deal on every one. I also have been the receipiant of a suprise pipe when I opened my package and have always been truly greatful. Lonestar is definetly good people and a stand up man. I can't wait for his hand made pipes. I have already told him to put me down for one of his first batch. Thanks again Lonestar.
