I busted my first pipe i ever bought, I just came back from Vancouver and bought this totally wicked soap stone pipe from one of the street vendors. when I got back home I wanted to try out my pipe for the first time, so I got a few roaches from a buddy, and I'm getting the roaches ready, and I think "Hmmm where am i going to put the pipe" and being totally oblivious I was I puit the pipe in my mouth and tried to just hold it there, nope ...being a soap stone pipe and being a bit to heavy to hold with your lips, it smashed to the ground, i was so pissed, it was my first damn pipe lol. so i gave it to one of my friends and he actually fixed, but I let him keep it since he did fix..didn't even get to have one hoot out of that pipe Oh and this happed when I was 16 years old...many years ago.
