Long long time ago, I don’t recall if it was before we got married or after, V promised me that she’ll buy me a pipe as a gift on my 40th birthday. Today, I get closer to that day by one more year. If she keeps her promise, I’ll get my first pipe in just 2 more years. Below is just an example of what I’d like. They are called Meerschaum pipes made from a rare mineral called meerschaum. She is free to choose a design of her liking.
