PAD strikes hard!

[fishnbanjo]

My latest bout with PAD started when a member on a forum showed the most beautiful Apple Bowl with the craziest bamboo shank I’ve ever seen, the pipe is by Roman Kovalev of Doctor’s Pipes.

I found Doc, as he refers to himself, on Facebook and there were 5 of the most unusual bamboo shank pipes I’ve seen, not so much the bowl but the bamboo used is incredibly insane.

Needless to say I made an inquiry to Doc if any of the pipes were available and he replied that 3 were and sent photos. Never in my wildest dreams would I expected that the third pipe was what I was looking for, it was meant to be.
Payment made and it will be in the mail tomorrow when the wait begins.

Now that’s a beauty. I sure wish I had your pipe budget to play with.

A pipe that even a non-smoker could appreciate, assuming a certain aesthetic sensibility. It's over the line for me, though--too pretty to smoke. I might change my mind if I had it in hand.

Wowsers! That's sweet!
