One draw back to recieving a new pipe in the mail.

[ohin3]

Got the Luciano apple today and I am so rediculously pleased with everything about it. Looks beautiful, feels very very nice in the palm of the hand, feels great in the teeth, no coating in the bowl (big bonus for me). One thing wrong...I'm still sick with this wretched virus and I can't smoke! ! ! Oh the humanity. Waiting for a pipe, having the pipe live up to all of your expectations, and then having the rug ripped out from under your feet by a friggin virus...top of the food chain my ass! Can't wait for the christening smoke with this pipe.

Major bummer there!

Get well soon, at least it wasn't the pipes fault.

 

[admin]

That's frustrating! Get well soon Phil.

 

[marmal4de]

Condolences!

Phil, I guess you have a strong motivation to get that virus to the curb. In the mean time, Just imagine what fine blend will be it's first smoke. Maybe that will whet your appetite till better days come. Congrats & Good luck.

 

[twss]

That really stinks, but while your waiting you could post some pictures of the new pipe!

you could always send it to me to break-in for you... I'm THAT nice of a guy. :rofl:

Life can be so cruel.... :crying:

 

[eaglerico]

I 2nd Lordnoble. Get well :mrgreen:

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

Haha, I'm pretty much in the same boat, Phil. I have a bunch of pipes new to me that I want to start smoking, but got a virus on top of my allergies going nuts.
Here's to a speedy recovery!

 

[jcsoldit]

That blows... get better soon!

 

[fred]

I hope that your health returns quickly. For me, the only

drawback to getting Pipes in the mail is THE WAIT...

I had that same dilema about two weeks back when I ordered my stem for my cob. It sucks, but the extra motivation to get well should help.
Get well soon man, eat garlic and drink water.

Phil, here's to a speedy recovery and congratulations on your new pipe.

Well, to put a positive spin on it, you get to look at how purty that pipe is as a virgin for a few days, before you get to smoke it. I had that virus last month, bummer it takes weeks to get over.

 

[bubbadreier]

Hope you are getting better Phil!

Yet one more reason I purchase my pipes locally. If I'm too sick to smoke my new acquisition, I'm too sick to visit the tobacconist. It so happens however, that I find myself with a post operative sore throat. It's a great time to get out the carnuba wax and polish the pipes until they shine like the treasures they are.

Pic of the pipe on it's maiden voyage. I feel healthy enough today to smoke and what a glorious smoke it is.
