 A Tribute to My Oldest Piece(s)

This was the first glass bong I ever purchased. It was acquired at Daddy's Pipes
on Ventura in the Studio City/Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, California.
 
Back then, Daddy's had two locations within a few blocks of each other which displayed some
of the finest glass work I've ever laid my eyes upon. Unfortunately their "Museum" store
has since closed, and even their original digs have been converted into a medical dispensary.
Though they sport the same name, the conversion has resulted in a vastly reduced selection
of paraphernalia. Disappointing, but it was cool to stroll by the other week and shoot the
shit with a kid who was my age and also remembered Daddy's during its hay day.
 
Ten years on and I still have this piece, though I only bust it out on special occasions. Too much
smoke and concern for my health has led me to use my vaporizer almost exclusively these days.
Have you any pieces of historic proportion that have withstood the tests of time?

This here is the vape that I use almost exclusively at home these days.
While it can take a little while to develop an efficient technique, this thing cuts down the
quantity of product used in a massive way when compared to any other smoking device I've ever
used. About 1/10th of a gram of high quality product and I'm floatin' away in the perfect high
with the added benefit of not having to deal with a resinous coating of tar on my internals.
 
For anyone who smokes often in their home (or anywhere that there is a constant supply of
electricity), vaporizers provide for a stealthy and healthier way to enjoy our favorite plant.
I've been using the AromaZap in particular for going on eight years and have never looked back.
Picked it up during college, since it doubles as an aromatherapy device (using the aromatherapy
flower shown in the first pic, filled with essential oils) - and therefore is even less likely to draw
negative attention if that is a concern for you.
I've tried several comparable units from the Volcano to the Vapor Brothers, and for a personal use
product, the 'Zap is hard to beat. However, it will not serve larger groups of people so well,
and is not quite as durable as some of the other offerings on the market. So if you're lookin'
for a house piece to pass around (or you're plain clumsy), you may indeed want to consider the
larger bowled Vapor Brothers or even the considerably more expensive Volcano.

My brother actually broke this pipe. I bought it at Hemp Fest. Hemp Fest is a festival put on the by Students for Sensible Drug Policy here at OSU every June. it's held right on campus and a bunch of local blowers come to showcase/sell their pieces. It's awesome, really.
It was sad to see this pipe gone.

Good taste in beer represented in that photo. Made like a true home brew with the sediment in the bottom from natural carbonation and all. Now that my boy who drank it faster than I could brew it is gone I should get back into that.
Nice to see ya back Tang.

 "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln

The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qur'an is mute,
If you burned them all together you'd be close to the truth, still
They're poring over Sanskrit under Ivy League moons,
While shadows lengthen in the sun.
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times,
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds.
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines,
Four winds cry until it comes...

Interesting shape. Never smoked out of one quite like that.
Here's a thick glass pipe purchased by a housemate in 2002/2003 Santa Cruz:
