Slim, elegant, beautiful curves. What more can a man ask for? And on top of all a brunette! Jokes aside, this is a stunning pipe. With amazing birdseye on the front of the bowl, this will make any pipestand proud.

This little pipe is a treasure: it fits the hand as if moulded from it and also is a real pleasure to look at. The stunning flamegrain on the sides and front of bowl just emphasize it's beauty. There are a couple of sandpits on the bottom of the bowl and also a surface crack on the shank, but I couldn't push myself to rusticate. I think it was worth the while.

A nice long pipe for those of you that believe it results in a cooler smoke. The diamond-shaped shank and stem with white inlay makes it an elegant pipe for those dreaded formal affairs.

This is a big pipe, one of those built for driving long distances with. One bowl will last you a long, long way! I left the the top rough on this one because I thought that it might give the pipe an interesting twist. The bowl fits my hand very comfortably. There are 2 surface fissures on the bowl, one on the bottom and one on the back of the bowl. And of course, the staining is marvellous! Great buy for somebody with a big appetite for smoking!
