I was lucky.....there has been 8 offers to buy this pipe, but they were all turned down because this pipe cannot be exported due to the use of elephant ivory!

You bastage! I was saving up for that one! Seriously, congrats on the pick up, enjoy it--and let me know how it smokes. I'm still thinking about getting a pipe from this guy but would love a brief review of how well you think it smokes and general craftmanship. The photos look amazing on his site but I wanna hear the real deal about how it is in person. Share with us when you get it in hand!

That's just sick. You'd have to be listening to Sunn0))) and wearing a druid robe while smoking that sucker...

Here is one that I like it is a Radice, little out of my price range.

Two other pipes that I would love to get are these Nordings, not that far out of my range but I just can't pull the trigger. Maybe for my birthday in about a month.

muzig:
The pipe is beautiful....almost too beautiful to smoke! The color is a bit darker in person as opposed to the pictures on the site. But what is impressive is the feel of the pipe in hand. Incredibly ergonomic, extremely comfortable. Fits in the hand perfectly. The finish and craftsmanship is perfect.....makes Dunhill look like a second tier pipe!

This pipe was so well received that the maker is going to try to make a few more, along the similar lines. They will not be exact duplicates as all his pipes are "one offs", but similar is design.

He has a couple other pipes that I would like to have in my collection, but I would like to see how this one smokes first.

Those are some beautiful pipes! A couple looked very confusing and one scared the hell out of me!

An LJ Heart pipe off of frenchy's site that really caught my eye:

But I really would like to have them.

At this point, me getting one of the fine pipes that you guys have posted, would be like casting pearls before swine and I don't mean icehog

Merry Christmas everyone

Hey Ken, I remembered seeing your post about this and found this pipe(estate) at premierpipes.

If you scroll down there is a bing's favorite towards the bottom.

I saw that one as well and would have to agree with you man. I have no idea how much it was though because it was tagged as "sold"

[IHT]

probably at least 7 bills.

I am no expert, but I really like the looks of some pipes by Michael Parks. Especially this one:









Here is another example of his work:

I wouldn't be surprised. I've honestly never seen the prices before, I get the newsletter and they are always already sold
