I have been working non-stop and consequently haven't been able to get on the forums even 1/10th the amount of time that I use to. :mad: I'm actually at work right now but miss my brothers badly so I thought I would take a few minutes from my break to shout out and tell you about my new pipe.

I have several crappy $10-$20 pipes. BigDirtyFoot ended up with my favorite one and that was even crappy (had a leak)... so I decided as a reward for all of my hard work I would take out about $100 to blow on a pipe. There was a fantastic $95 Briar pipe that I wanted but I was convinced to go with the Mershaum simply for Quality.

I bought an IMPPipe Mershaum (sp?.. in a hurry..) for $115. I bought a round (apple?) shaped bowl and a curved stem. The bowl is engraved with a series of circles forming a beautiful pattern. After about 4 days its already turning a pretty orangish, antique pink colour. I saw the same pipe but one after three years of smoking and it was amazing looking.

I bought a cool pipe bag and a 1/2 pound of some amazing tobacco. It's by Esoterica Tobacco or a brand of similiar name. One kind of it is called "And So To Bed" and it is absolutely AMAZING tasting!!!! and the other that I bought at larger quantity is called something else that I can't recall right now. Perizode or some odd name.

Anyways, breaks almost over.. I love my new pipe.. its like nothing else!!!!

I miss you all very much. Hang in there, I'll be fired and back in no time.. :D

Many Blessings to all my friends at CS,

-Dan and Kasey psygardelic.

That was an excellent purchase Dan! Congrats! I.M.P. seems to make some nice meers. Haven't had "and so to bed" from Esoterica, but have been lucky enough to try Stonehaven and Penzance. After trying my first bowl of Bob's Chocolate Flake, I just got some various aromatics to try.

Sounds awesome, Dan! Sorry your life's getting in the way of your life...but sometimes, that's life!

Haven't tried the "and so to bed" yet either, but I've recieved some Penzance that's beckoning me. Liked the Bob's too.

Stay outta trouble!

You did well there, Psy. Penzance is one of my favorites.

Dan, you should try and take some photographs of your pipe as it develops its coloring. I'd love to see the stages.
