  • I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back

So I bought a $200 dunhill from the 50s on fleabay and upon owning it for less than an hour the stem broke. Thankfully the guy did a return. If he wouldn’t have I would have hit fleabay up for the money back guarantee. Thinking twice about buying 70 year old pipes in the future even if they are from renowned shops.

After getting the refund I decided to do an 180 and bought a brand new Radice, inspired by all the hype on botl. This thing is rad, no pun intended. I thought the faux bamboo thing was tacky in pictures but IRL it is awesome, trust me, the woodwork is intriguing. I chose this one over pipes that didn’t have the faux bamboo. I think I will fire it up for its maiden voyage with some of the esoterica Dunbar I got from @Dylantaylor059. I know, it isn’t broken in yet, but I can’t resist. I’ll save the rest of the eso for when it is “broken in.”
