It is a Radice Rind O, but I am not going to brag about how pretty it is or how much it cost. I won't say anything about how well it smokes or how it feels in the hand. This pipe is not my favorite for any material reasons whatsoever.
You see, this pipe was a gift from a member of this forum. I had saw it posted for sale here just a couple hrs after I spent my PAD money I had saved up. When I saw the pipe for sale I mentioned how much I liked it and joked that I hoped everyone was broke for awhile. Seems like every time I spend my money on something an awesome deal appears moments later and this was one of those times!
The reason this is special to me is because of how it made me feel when I was PM'd and told I would be receiving the pipe as a gift. I have some serious medical issues that kinda keep me down and changed my life in a big way. I tend to get very depressed and get to feeling very lonely.
At the risk of sounding corny, this pipe is a symbol that I am not alone and that there are some very kind people in this world.
I wrote this because I was feeling very blue this morning, but picking up this gift and smoking it over coffee put a smile on my face and changed how I was feeling. It's awesome to think I will have this pipe for the rest of my life.
I really just wanted to publicly thank the fella who gave me this pipe. You gifted me much more than a fine piece of briar, you gave me a reason to smile and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I've lived alone these past ten years and just have my dog for companionship...no family save a sister in another state so, I can identify with feeling alone from time to time. My boy helps me a lot in that respect but sometimes you just need a little hug from a human. It helps to hold and hug my dog a lot and he gets plenty of affection. Maybe that would help you as well...a dog, I mean. It's like a good medicine for me just having him with me.
