Put some photos up of the Radice on the Flickr. At first when she was putting the honey into the pipe, I panicked a bit inside because I had know idea why she was doing that. I rushed back home and checked on here and sighed in relief when I read about the thin honey coating being a widely used break-in method.

What I love about this is the shape. I'm a sucker for a billiard, and this one has some real character to it with the craggy rim and all; I feel like I'll be smoking a one-of-a-kind pipe, and to me, that feeling is priceless. (actually the way I'm dealing with feeling how much lighter my wallet feels is by thinking, "there are a lot of people that have spent more on a single pipes/their pipe collections even larger... hehe)
I'm really looking forward to using this beauty! Perhaps I'll dedicate this pipe to... I don't know what kind of tobacco. I used some Dan Pipe 2000, which according to the store has Latakia, but looking at Dan Tobacco's site, it doesn't seem like there is any.

I think I'll just use it either way because it's good. No point thinking about what to use and not actually using the pipe; we'll see where this goes.
I'm thankfully not worrying much more about the pipe situation, primarily because I got myself a new pipe :P. I will update on what happens with the situation. Thanks a ton guys!
