It smokes great, Im breaking it in with som 1-Q

How should I best break it in? One bowl every day with a couple of days rest? Its kinda hard to let this one rest, the draw is so comfortable and I just like it to much to let it just stand on the shelf :D

Damn beautiful it is! I think you should let it rest and break it in as you would any new pipe it would be a shame to not give it a chance to cool properly and release moisture etc. Smoke it in good health.

I can see how you find it hard to put it down. Smoke it with pride. Congratulations and long live PAD!

Wow another amazing creation! I wouldn't be able to let it sit either. Enjoy it!

Just like Funland in Orlando FL, "it's HUGE!"

I have uploaded a few more photos of it to illustrate its actual size. Its "my own design". It has a double chamber, so the chamber on this pipe is actually 2,5 size of normal reverse calabash size.
The pipe is a graduation present for myself, Im (allmost) done with my music teacher degree, only some formalities before i graduate. The past two years, I kept two jobs, working evenings and nightshifts and being a full time student. I havent even bought myself a pair of socks during the past two years :D
I was originally looking for a poker. But wanted somehow something more, and I got a soft spot for RCs. So its a large poker, to sit down with and relax and to think back on what once was

Just like Funland in Orlando FL, "it's HUGE!"

Yes, it took two pieces of briar for that one :D
But I have to say, its very comfortable to smoke. And my point is, its for relaxing, not to clinch and walk around

WOW...is that ever a good looking pipe. A very fitting reward for yourself! Enjoy. ::

That's a pretty big purdy poker you got there.

I too am a lover of big pipes.

Scott's vids on YouTube are a good source of relaxing information.

Lovely grain on that one. Glad it smokes well for you.
In general, I try to smoke a new pipe once every other day until its fully broken in. Just my way.
Music teacher? Public schools?
I obtained a music teaching degree as a 'backup' in case my life as a free lance musician in NYC didn't work out. Student taught in Music and Art High School (transferred to become La Guardia School For the Arts in Lincoln Center).
Congrats on your upcoming degree and I hope you get a good job in a safe school. LOL!

Just curious, is that a crack on front of the bowl down by the base of it?

That is a beautiful pipe! Congrats.

You have certainly worked very, very hard. The pipe is magnificent! I hope that it in some sense the reward it provides compensates for all that work.
