Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am feeling good about it.
No regrets, right?

The first half of this thread was riveting, far better more intriguing than any work I actually have to do. A nail-biting saga. Congratulations on the pipe! Enjoy every puff!

You should have lived it. I literally (not figuratively) had my blood pressure monitor on for most of the last 15 minutes. :rofl:

What a great story. That pipe is magnificent. Congratulations!

That, looks like one fine smoking pipe. I hope it is, enjoy and congratulations again!

I read the original thread.

And just now went back for "the rest of the story." Based on the OP, I never expected such a happy ending. Agree, he is a great seller to deal with, second only to The Stud.

Well, it has been about an hour since I first held my White Whale, and it is everything I thought it would be.
I'll smoke her later, and try to get a pic up.
Thank you all again for the support.

The Pipe Gods smiled on you. Enjoy it and your Birthday.

I will turn 50 in a few weeks. I guess it is time to start cellaring aloha shirts...

So glad you got the pipe. I started reading this thread telling myself "Oh no! Its going to get away!" and was totally relieved you got it. Great looking pipe!

 

[sjfine]

Thank you.
I have a few pipes at this stage; some 4 or 5 years in. I have some favorites, and some great smokers. This one is right at the top of the list.
(I'm still saving for my custom chopper.)

Just caught this story. Congrats and Happy Belated Birthday. I couldn't be happier that you got the pipe and smoked it, too. Enjoy!
