Re: My first "Official" pipe.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, the stem....I rushed it :) I actually wanted to put in a white insert on it and didn't have the right materials. There is a conference I'm going to tomorrow and I wanted to take this pipe with me. I plan on trying to make a better stem with the insert for it at some po...

Re: Dublin sitter (or so)

I'd say that's a very pretty pipe. If I were to buy one like that I'd probably prefer round at the top of the bowl instead of the flairs, but that's only a preference thing. However, with the flares on the bowl giving you two hard lines I would think it would be nice to flow that flat stem at the bi...
