BlingBling in TransGender buy

I like small bowls. In fact my best smoking pipe is a BigBen Lectura which is sometimes referred to as a Ladies' pipe. So when I found this beauty on eBay I didn't hesitate (more than two hours) to bid on it. I seem to have been the only one interested so I won! It's a Savinelli STARLET Lady Pipe, of the KINGS CROSS FEATHER WEIGHT persuasion.
I think it's a great looking pipe and the rhinestone ring around the stem/tenon only makes it cooler IMO.

Got some new Ornsby Bowls!


Found these on eBay. Got them at a good price, and by now I have almost every known bowl design (and some duplicates).
When I packed the parcel up I found a handwritten letter saying that the (very kind) seller had found an extra bowl, and that he added it to the deal at no extra cost...!
The extra bowl was a Smooth Natural, which I haven't seen before, so it was extra nice.
I have given them all a Paragon/Halcyon waxing and they have taken over a pipe stand of their own. I'm thinking of ordering/making one that will display the 2 stems separately and have 6 bowl slots.

Won a Comoy (my first!)

In a storm flood of generosity, previously unheard of, one of the members of the smokersforums started sharing out pipes, tools and tobacco by literally pulling names from a hat. Anyone interested in participating was given an equal chance. And it was not just a couple of pipes, but probably well over forty pipes! What a guy, huh? I hesitated a (little) bit before submitting my name to the Comoys thread.

Said member would here give away four jubilee Comoys to the first four members pulled out of the hat. I was number two! This means I get second call to pick one out of remaining three pipes as soon as they arrive. I am know anxiously awaiting the package ...
