Whats you favorite piece whats it made out of and what style is it? Do you name your piece's? Ever had a piece that you had for so long or that had such meaning it became almost like family and as such was irreplaceable? I did. Had the same hand made glass Sherlock since i was in Junior High and it broke last night like major un fixable catastrophic failure! It's been breaking for years and i keep putting it away and trying to find a replacement and i just haven't been able to so it always comes back out. It just feels funny to me to smoke my herb out of anything else! Now i'm screwed though cause Sherlock is FUCKED!
 I hate buying new piece's i can never find one thats JUST RIGHT! and if ANYTHING about it isn't perfect it bugs me the whole night! In all the years i've been looking ive only ever been able to find 3 i liked My glass Sherlock, my dads Proto and a giant bong we call big red, red is fun for blowing threw lots of weed, proto is the worlds best travel pipe but just feels strange to sit around the house and smoke out of which is what i always used Sherlock for best house pipe i've ever found and i've tried 100's but never used them so i just gave them away.... Sigh ....

yeah...I've had a few like that throughout the years:
the first of which was an old acrylic double bubble that was only available for a very short time back in the mid nineties (I'm not sure if the company that made em got bought out by a competitor and the idea put to rest, or if they just simply discontinued making em cause they weren't selling that great) in either case though - that bad boy hit likea fucken CHAMP...and because there was a whole lot of history with that bong being passed around from one friend to the next - it always made me feel good to know that I got to be a part of all of that
I tried nigger rigging a replacement for it some years later, but it just wasn't the same
I also had a little glass one hitter witha dragonfly on it that I would carry around with me from job to job an shit, which then got dropped and cracked in twain ata gathering here (I believe Monistat took it home with him asa keepsake if I remember correctly) in either case though - I tried replacing that one as well here...with an exact same replica I bought from the same damn place
and yet, somehow, it just didn't feel right to me
the only other one that ever really touched me like that was my salvia bong, which was really just a very simple / basic / straight forward porcelain piece that was bright fucken yellow with blue flames on the bottom...but that wasa bong that jumped out at me in the store (like this was something I simply *had to* fucken have) and oddly enough - it fit the salvia experience PERFECTLY
something about the flames...I dunno...it just went really well with the trip
I find it rather comical though that there have been times when I've gone out and spent god loads of money on pieces that I thought were the most awesome fucken piece in existence...and those ones never really seemed to mean anything to me when you get right down to it (just as there has been the occasion when I've bought matching pipes an shit for friends, which never really meant much to me either)
apparently 'value' comes down to more then just simply what these things are *supposed to* mean to you

I get what you mean, the price of a piece lays in the value you attach to it not what you paid for it i've had vaporisers and thousand dollar roors and in the end the three i liked most cost me under 100 for all three!

I named my piece once, but I forgot it the next day.
