I guess I'm kicking this years needless purchase thread off. Big ol box showed up from Germany
All it contained was this purdy little gem. Bruno Nuttens heritage Bing (mine is a mini. Small chamber & weighs 20g)

I thought you'd be first too! It's really a nice pipe and I'm not disappointed for making a poor financial decision buying it. Going to put some serious thought into whittling down to around 8 pipes when I get a chance to break that one inPiping Abe wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 7:23 pm Wow, I thought I would be the first!

I envy you! 8 is a great number. That way you can smoke just one a month and still have 4 months left! 4 more pipes allowedMr Beardsley wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 8:06 pmI thought you'd be first too!

Monier belge and wee Canadian. Nuttens cutty and Bing. Stanwell 77, 170, and wee belge. Morgason acorn. Ropp J05 would be the optional #9 keeper. At this point I really only reach for those anyway and the Bing was the last on my radar

That's a beauty, @Mr Beardsley! Hope it smokes as good as it looks.

But hey it is just a wee little pipe so does it really count as a full pipe purchase ?
Very nice looking pipe when I zoom in on the photo
