My Christmas gift to myself arrived yesterday. An old Danish Hansen from Blue Room Briars. For the full Poul Hansen story see,

They had four Hansen pipes, all at good prices. They didn't last long. Here was my second choice pipe, but it was gone by the time I got back that evening on Christmas Eve. Probably a good thing!

Congrats, Dave!

I particularly like the straight grain on the bowl. Nice shape, too.

I would have chosen the one you got. Very nice.

I'm going to say the last pipe of 2020, and of course in 2021, I won't be buying more pipes...
