Well, I was enjoying a nice bowl of Ennerdale Flake in my Peterson Junior Rusticated Billiard while out on a dog walk.

One unexpected tug of the leash later and wheeee, the pipe goes flying and there goes $85 when it hits the concrete. 😣

That was the first and only time I've ever dropped a pipe, but I think the lesson to be learned here is that if I want to smoke a pipe while out walking then just bring an inexpensive cob. Thankfully the Peterson was a factory pipe and can be replaced, but I did really like that pipe so I'm still sad about the loss. From here on out it's cobs only for dog walking!
No loss.I'm sure there's a pipe repair man who can fix that.Decades ago as a pimply faced 19 year old,I broke a Svendborg Billiard in a similar area, and I repaired it using wood working glue at the shank.That Bad boy held up.

Almost half way through this bowl of 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. First time smoking this pipe. Been quite a while since I smoked this blend. I was the first person in this country to smoke it, thanks to Per Jensen. He was surprised that I guessed the toppings correctly. So was I, to be honest. If I hadn't smoked Heine's Blend, I doubt I'd have figured it out.
