Ten Years Here, and Yet Another Birthday Pipe.

Beautiful Pipe, I hope it makes your tobacco beautiful.

So I've managed to stay on here for ten years as of last month, and while I'm not posting as much now as before, it's still a great place to hang out. Hell, I don't even smoke as much as I once did, but still enjoy it from time to time. I hit the big 77 today and bought myself my first new pipe in almost a year. A lovely Don Carlos, which I've been looking to get for about a year or so. Why Don Carlos? With my love of music, especially classical I felt drawn to the treble clef stem symbol. Good as reason as any I figure. It's a smallish pipe which is more my style lately, and I'm telling you they are not all that easy to find with that logo on the stem at a reasonable price, new or used. I saw this a Iwan Ries a couple of weeks ago, and finally puled the trigger on it. Going to break it in this evening. Cheers guys!

Beautiful pipe! You're three years older than me (at least when my birthday occurs next week!) and you're lucky you spotted that pipe before I did!

Happy B-day. I've had a thing for Don Carlos pipes for many years. Just smoked my big old bent fiammata this morning. Congrats on the great looking DC.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes guys! I'm enjoying it right now with some Whiskey Biscuit Gravy tobacco and some Ardbeg "Wee Beastie" scotch.

It certainly looks like a great pipe. I'll hit 77 in February of 2024.

Happy birthday, @agnosticpipe! That's a neat shape.
