Agree Jim,

Pipe may be from The Alps.
Music: Something from 'The Sound of Music' or 'Danny Boy'

Amazing how Expensive Pipes can be. Wife bought me a Italian one years ago that ran nearly $300 which I thought was crazy. Little did I know how pricey they could be. I can still hear the 'Cracking sound' when I got in the truck and my brother had it lit and bit down on it and cracked it. Man I was P!ssed off, It was nearly seasoned to perfection, just the right amount of carbon build and had only used the same tobacco. I never got another one but took what felt like a year to get over the habit / feel of having it in hand while driving. Dug out a tackle storage box one day to pull out some big Muskie / Pike crankbaits and found a old corn cob pipe from many years ago. Not as classy but she smoked quite well until I broke it cause I'd stuck it in my back pocket. Older now and a good pipe sounds good. But I can't smoke in the house and don't heat the garage.
Will have to figure something out, because it sure sounds nice
