My First "Nice" Pipe

[twiggy]

This was purchase don Monday, but only came in today. I assume Canada post must've been a little backlogged because of the Canada Day Holiday on Monday because it usually takes only 2-3 days for something to get to me from the Toronto area where the store "victory cigars"/"victory pipes" is located.
Anyways, it is an Augustus Caesar (27) from the Lorenzetti "Emperor" line in which all the pipes are named after Emperors, I'm not sure if only roman or not. It is the largest pipe I have as well going by size of the bowl, and also the nicest I have in appearance as well, but I was looking for a "nice" pipe anyways. I haven't smoked it yet, but for $85 Canadian It should be good, it definitely looks good, but we'll find out how it smokes tomorrow.
it has a nice Lorenzetti branded felt pouch for carrying/storing it in, and came in a nice grayish black Lorenzetti branded box. It can be used with or without (with the included adapter) a 9mm filter.
Victory Pipes also included a promotional pack of Brigham pipe cleaners.
Isn't she pretty?

Nice pipe! I’m going to have to start looking at the rest of the line and seeing if there are any I can’t live without! Congrats!

Looks good. Some of that Captain Bob blend should get it started, or one of the others you received. Take your time. Don't sweat relights. Give yourself time to learn its particular characteristics. You will likely have it for many years.

Fine looking pipe- small bowl?
Anyway, long live Caesar Augustus!

The bowl is not at all small, in fact it is the largest bowl I have at this time.

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it! Fair warning: the whole "nice pipe" thing can be a slippery slope.......my wife will tell you all about it........

I like the matching accents (boxwood?) on both the stem and stummel.
Is that a bent egg sitter? Nice combination of features.
Hope it smokes as good as it looks.

Thanks Everyone, my day had some surprises in it, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to smoke it in peace.

I really like the two-tone accents where both stem and shank have a bit of the lighter brown contrasted with the black. Looks like it sits nicely. Seems like a winner to me!
