This Is The End

[pipedreamin]

....Maybe...for a little while at least. It had been 20 years since I purchased a briar pipe, in the last 2 months I've made up for it a bit. A ten pipe binge and this one IS the last. I'm putting my foot down, no more will I fall prey to the siren song of the briar...well...till next time. Still NEED that perfect poker...but NOT now.
An Il Ceppo, never heard of them, but it struck me fancy:

I really like this rustication

Very Nice Brother!...

I have smoked two Il Ceppo pipes in my day. Both were fine smokers. Good looking pipe!

 

[papipeguy]

Il Ceppo makes a great pipe and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I swore off buying until last night. My weak character gave in. I hope you're stronger, but don't bet on it. :D

Beautiful!!!

Damn fine.

Nice to hear some of you have had a pleasant experience with Il Ceppos. Thanks for the Pipedia link dmc. This one is stamped, along with hand made and Italy, Huber Munchen. Some affiliation with Pfeifen Huber in Munich/Munchen I assume?

Good luck with the PAD. I've not found a cure yet!

This is the end? My only friend, The End. Of everything than stands, the end

I said the exact thing after I purchased my 101st pipe just 2 days ago. :twisted:

Nate beat me to it

OK, this is the end of The End.

This is the end, my only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free

But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies

The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

That is indeed the very "End" I had in mind when putting in the title. He took a pipe from the ancient gallery and he walked on down the hall.

Inaugural smoke of the Il Ceppo today. It's very light, surprisingly so compared to my similarly sized Pete De Luxe 11S. I packed it with Bengal Slices and found it to be an Impressive smoker, a 9mm but smoked it filterless and the draw was perfect for me. Nicely crafted, beautiful fit/finish and a new favorite.

Good luck with that "this is the last" thing. It's not gone so well for me or anyone here for that matter awesome pipe!

 

[pipedreamin]

It's not going so well for me either but I AM trying...
