damn sounds like a lot of people have been breaking their pieces lately.

I've never broken any of mine, but one time me and two of my other friends decided to boil a few pipes. We ended up boiling three at the same time and took turns filling it with water when the pot ran out. Well I had to leave so someone forgot to check the water and one of them ended up breaking in half. Mine got a crack in it, but its just a tiny crack so it still smokes fine. You can barely see the crack anyway.

oh and i had a sherlock pipe that was really bad ass looking, I ended up getting it from a friend who used it all the time. I've never seen a pipe with so much resin, but we boiled it and it was clear again, it was so bad ass. I ended up giving it to my other friend because he let me borrow his pipe a long time ago when i was in high school and my mom found it and took it. He ended up giving it to another one of our friends moms since we use to go over there and smoke with her and her daughter all the time. She ended up breaking it. So i guess thats kinda like having one of my pipes break.
