Just thought I would post this, the local B&M to celebrate their 45th year of being open had a little celebration there today. They were handing out door prizes and the such and were giving out the free cigar and pouch or pipe tobacco. Anyways I was able to score a tin of Penzance and also a new cigar cutter, pipe tool and a new pipe lighter...but this isn't the best part. He had a couple auctions going on with humidors and pipes and also a number of prize draws. So I added my name on a couple items and today the owner phoned to say I won one of the draws.

So this is what I won: Linky

It's the first pipe the Brigham 2006 limited edition Centennial Pipe. I'm heading in first thing tomorrow to go pick up my prize, not bad for a 5 dollar ticket eh? :thumbs:

I will post pictures tomorrow of my new pipe and then figure out how the hell I'm going to take care of such a nice pipe

Congrats on the win...I love it when those unexpected freebies come along. :thumbs:

Congratulations! That's a fine looking pipe.

Enjoy it for many years!

Wow! That is quite a profitable day you had there! Do you plan to smoke that or just display it?

Well went and picked the beauty up today and I have to say the thing is just a really nice pipe. I don't have my camera on me at the moment but I'll throw some pictures of the thing up soon.

I don't know I was thinking about that today, if I should enjoy the pipe or just keep it to display. I mean on one hand it is a really nice pipe and will be in my collection for along time but on the other hand it is a pipe made for smoking and a beautiful one at that and to deny it that is almost unnatural

What do the members of CP think? To smoke or not to smoke...that is the question.

 

[LilBastage]

Smoke it. I'm sure the maker had smoking in mind when he made it. It's a beaut, but it sure would look nicer with a steady stream of smoke coming from the bowl.

Just my opinion, of course. If you plan on being a collector, by all means keep it how you see fit.

Oh, and I REALLY wish you hadn't posted a link to that website. I may get myself into trouble if I'm not careful.
