Bytemee that's a really nice one you have there.
It has some real character to it.

hell ya man, glad to see ur still using that! glad to see the bowl pack is clean too, im sure ur bowl appreciates it

and not only did the site u get it from get closed down, but the small chain of amazing headshops that ran that site were busted and shut down! something about not reporting money from what iv heard, but either way they are gone. its really sad too they were fucking amazing, work from so many top level crazy glass blowers was always there .

Wow Jake, that is some burst of color there. That yellow has especially just POPPED right out. Most excellent.

edit: Well auto improved or not, yours definitely is glowing.

Jake

I know! I still haven't found a site that is anywhere near the quality that they had for their prices. Their pipes were so unique, always a good step or two ahead of the competition, and the prices were so good.

They told me that the pipe I got was the last sale made through that website. It makes me proud

EDIT: Broliette, the picture is photoshopped....slightly...just auto color and auto focuc and auto lighting...but I mean pipes don't just glow like that...

Ugh, I HATE that they closed down... I got my first pipe there, and it's still by far my favorite pipe to smoke out of, and I still get compliments on how sweet a bowl it is... I need to get a camera so badly so I can post pics of it...

Hey, JT, I was wondering if perchance you had any idea what happened to that frog-on-reeds bong they had on display in the Manchester store (I have a pic hosted on here if you want to see it). It would break my heart if such a wonderful pipe got smashed... I know it's an outside shot, but I figured I might as well ask...

i was there a week before the bust, and it was still there. the piece you re talking was made by smiley, rite? there were so many nice pieces, including the one in particular below which is one of the sickest pipes iv ever seen, and also made by smiley. ti hear it is reopened, but i haven't been back to see what is there.so i don't know if it survived, but i would guess that many things broke, he would be super lucky if they took care of shit, and i would guess that the fuckin dea fuckers delighted in breaking them too.


sick smiley piece that was there:

Don't know who it was by... the style of that pipe looks a little different, though most certainly sweet... here's the link to the image of the pipe I'm talking about: http://www.marijuana.com/vbimghost.p...ayimg&imgid=56 (I hosted it because the only picture I could find was in a java applet). Maybe it's the same guy. I know it's a very small chance, but I was holding out hope...

On an unrelated note... my new phone can upload pics to my computer directly, so I finally have a few pics of them, albeit of poor quality...

First, a pic of the whole set...
http://www.marijuana.com/vbimghost.p...yimg&imgid=179
The one on the left is my unnamed glass minichillum, the top one is my mini-steamroller Little Gordo, and the one on the right (my favorite) is El Duche.

An up close of the minichillum...

It's all CCG, but I don't really smoke out of it that much, so it's not too developed.

Some of Little Gordo...

Here you can see the marbles around the bowl better.

A good side shot. It may be a mini-steamroller, but it's still the one with the largest bowl, rush, and chamber.

And only one decent one of El Duche, my first pipe (and incidentally from the good folks at Good Times before the shitstorm happened):
http://www.marijuana.com/vbimghost.p...yimg&imgid=181
He's a bit over 4 inches... those blue bits are sparkling, threaded between dark purple streaks and CCG threads that start in a big spot on the front as a dark blue and lighten out to a pinkish near the end. The CCG is also dotted with light purple, the same color as the swirl you can see on the front of the bowl in the group shot (looks vaguely like the konoha leaf from Naruto- I'm a fan, and I didn't even notice it in the store!). The bowl has three true marbles crowning it, and the fourth (the red one in the above pic, furthest to the left) is actually the carb.

I love them all so... but El Duche is most certainly my favorite, and it's the most solid by far... I think I might be able to use it as a club if I wanted to .
