Smoked it earlier and am pleased with it. Mine is small also and they are quite alike other than the bowl on mine is smooth.

I've got a couple Jacopo's on the way from Europe. I'll post pics when I get them.
Having new pipes on the way makes me feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas Day to come.

Had Tad under control several months then out of nowhere 'screen' shopping like crazy as PAD grabbed hold yet again and hasn't let go. This big Neerup Jeppesen Boutique is in the mail, ordered Monday.
Def post, and funny you say this... I was trying to shop Al Pascia over the holiday but slooowww and I kept getting frustrated. Was eying a Jacapo bent Rhodesian. If it hangs out a few more weeks, now that the website works again who knows.
Jan 3 picked up this SMS meer 6 panel dublin from one of the few, persecuted tobacco shops in my whole darn state. (turns out SMS is HQ'd in WA state, btw) I'm a total meer newbie. I believe is a true lattice but have not tried fishing any thread through it yet. Huge bowl... put a light in it and see some thin spots. anything to be concerned about?
Nothing eyebrow raising so far. Eyeballing some nasal snuff accessories though.
What type of accessories, if I may ask? I've a nice little stash of snuff I need to get at.
Spoons, boxes, bullets, etc.
A Castello 'Castelo' 49 was delivered. I really dig that kind of Bent Dublin. 
Well they were ordered in 2022, arrived this AM. Some estate Ser Jacabo PAD

I look forward to seeing them! I think Ser Jacabo is my favorite aesthetically, they smoke good too! I have 3 now, all estates.
Love the big bowl and metal band on this!
Purchased last year and the first pipe in my mailbox of 2023.
$15 delivered. Marxman, sitter, marked Imported Briar, not graded, likely made before 1952 of Algerian briar. I didn’t see any fills, and if stained it was very lightly stained. Grapeseed oil I used has darkened it considerably.
A high quality pipe, for any dollars, not just 15 dollars.
Is this a Rhodesian or an an Apple or Tomato with rings?
It smokes very well, and cleaned up easy.

Inaugural bowl in the Neerup Jeppesen Boutique this morning. Same pipe mentioned earlier in the thread but with a real photo. 3/4 bowl of Stonehenge flake. The feel in the hand is perfect. Very satisfied with this one.
Postman just delivered my first new pipe of the year all the way from Denmark. A delightfully plump little Poul Winslow Crown Viking Billiard from the Danish Pipe Shop. 
Two Tsuges and a Peterson. Slow year so far.
