To celebrate a) my recent graduation and b) getting the first pay cheque from my new job I mosied on over to the B&M the other day, looking to pick up a Big Ben Christopher Antique 343 that I'd been coveting for a while. At the moment I've only got one latakia pipe, so I could justify buying it on the grounds (dubiously) of practicality. Anyway, here she is:
As is the nature of these things, while I was looking around the shop I started hearing the old siren-song from this Chacom Rafting 921. I loved the golden-brown stain, I'm a sucker for a bare bowl, I've been wanting a nose-warmer for a while, and I was still a bit lit-up from the celebrations the night before, so I pulled the trigger:
The happy couple:
Not sure what I'll use the Chacom for, probably VAs of some kind. Thanks to said new job, I haven't had a chance to smoke them yet, but at least I still have that to look forward to.
