I still remember my first pipe.
Broken by my best friend who decided to do a handstand with my pipe in his pocket. >_<
I do need to say though, don't get attached too much to one single pipe! Pipes are glass, accidents happen, they break. Be optimistic about it! You get to pick out a brand new piece when one goes missing or loses a limb.. etc, etc. If I could have gotten that pipe fixed and only have one my whole life I would have.. but I would regret it now- I have had many other pipes, and a lot of them have their own stories I will never forget! Find a new favorite and if you can color it twice, I say you got your money's worth.
Here is a picture of the first pipe i ever owned. It was dropped and broken by an irresponsible friend. I will pay for this Pipe to be remade. reborn. It was a small I wanna say 4 inch pipe with a good sized bowl and hit like a champ. It was clouded white none changing with rasta colors down the side. it truly was a beautfiul pipe. anyone that would try for me let me know
