Haven't heard of Jacono pipes until now but I'll be keeping an eye out for them moving forward.

Enjoy! First one, or do you have others?
I've been eyeballing the Rook Bent Apple 'EE' & the Rook Bent Brandy 'E' over at SP.EU for a while now.

Thank you! This one is actually the first and surely will not be the last. Like you, I have my eye on quite a few and I don't often feel the need to practice self control when it comes to pipes. Happy hunting, I hope you get at least one of those Rooks!

If you buy them, I wouldn't be mad. =) Realistically I've turned it down with pipe-buying for a while, maybe forever. It used to seem to be a much better value to play, even for the more expensive stuff. Bought a lot right before "internet sales tax" kicked in, bought a little more before inflation started to take off, now I pretty much just window-shop. I bought something online from overseas the other day, & got charged VAT at time of payment. I guess that's a thing now. I would have to deal with it during tax time to get it back. That used to be a decent little savings, not having to pay VAT. Whatever, these days it's easier to simply avoid these problems in the first place by not buying retail.

I wouldn't buy them out from under you, there are plenty out there to choose from. I get your point, it definitely used to be cheaper. I do a lot of window shopping myself but that seems to only get me into trouble... something always pops up that I can't do without. I suppose one day soon I have to step back and admit to myself that I have enough...maybe.
That sucks about the VAT, that really used to make a difference. I hope that isn't going to be a regular thing.

Anyone snag the author in the middle from SP today? It reminds me of the Castello shape 11 but I like it even better.
