Hello all!
I've been suffering from PAD (Pipe Acquisition Disorder) since joining, so I thought I'd share the pain.
Since you seem to like pics, I thought I'd share a couple. I have a very small collection, but its been expanding a LOT this year. My last two new pipe purchases (more pics of the others another time) have been from a brand not well known in the US- Vauen. They're a German company, and their a bit of an industry leader. I really like their pipes in general. The most affordable ones I've seen are from their "Vesuv" line, and since joining this forum, I've bought two. These both use a 9mm charcoal filter, but can be used without them (I think).
The first is the Vauen Vesuv Pickaxe (though I've seen it called an Acorn as well):
The Box-
Packaging is very safe-
Comes with a nice Blue Bag-
Here's the reveal!!-
Another Angle-
Close-up of the rusticated finish-
Pipe in hand, note the thickness of the chamber walls-
Rusticated Bottom-
Here's the Volcano: I love this shape:

Smooth, Polished Bottom-

Last One-
Hope you Enjoyed seeing my first pics!
So far, I've only smoked the Pickaxe, and it smoke beautifully.
