A pipe is a personal kind of object that is hard to get a handle on over the internet. You see a photo on-line and the pipe is or is not visually stimulating to you. Once you purchase the pipe and it arrives at your home, it may be a totally different experience, both visually and once you fire it up.

Sounds like your pipe wasn't a fit for you, but it sure made your buddy' a happy camper

And now your old pipe has found itself a new home (and that's a good thing)...
