I picked up another Eldorado 81 today off the bay, paid out of the gills for it because it was unsmoked and purdy.

At least you won't have to deal with those pesky ghosts, so that's a good thing. "Eldorado, why don't you come to your senses, you've been out riding fences for so long now..."

I don't mind certain ghosts, it's the basement musky one's that are a hard pill to swallow at first.

Picked up this Hilson Prince from the 'bay. It used to have a meerschaum lining in the bowl, but doesn't anymore. A tad thin-walled, but I liked the looks of it.

That is a very nice pipe! The proportions are spot on. Did you pull the liner out?

Nope. I'd guess that the seller did. Nice, clean job. The pipe's in great shape.

Yep...it's generous enough, that's for sure. Especially for a pipe of it's size.
