First Sold Pipe

Post by buistd »

I made my first sale last week. Factoring in material costs, I probably earned myself £2 an hour from this one, but everyone's got to start somewhere I guess! Obviously there's no hand-cut stem and all that jazz but I'm pleased with how it turned out. I would appreciate all criticisms, however harsh (and any compliments, if you're feeling generous).

I like it. Very "Castello-esque."

Congrats on your first sale.

eGarble's all jittery with the thought of selling his first pipe too.


Don't worry Ernie, it'll happen sooner or later. :thumbsup:

Wow. I'd be happy to have that in my collection. I really like your rustication and I don't even mind the factory stem. Congrats!

well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course
