  • I laughed in the beginning of the interview when you struggled to find that ‘common bond’ beyond your names.
    “I like Latakia” and “I don’t drink.” (levines grumbles into his chest)..
    Wonderful interview and I have an opinion!
    I looked at Mr. Orton’s facebook page ( I don’t member )and what I saw was an incredible array of inventive and artistic textures and finishes.
    caution: opinion below:
    I think the shaping is still a tad ‘bulky’, but the uniquely organic results of this artist’s vision promise even more desirable smoking objects of art.
    Keep on puffin!, Mike

  • Good show. The trip report was quite useful. Glad the folks in Raleigh had a good show. Nice people.
    Brian Orton was another guy I haven’t heard of. The time he spends on a pipe is rather high for the amount of revenue he is generating particularly when you consider the cost of the materials. His pipes seem to be missing a style of their own with the exception of the pieces that look like part of a tree. I don’t see how he is doing this with a few hand made tools. I am sure this will change in time.

  • Another great show Brian. Saw Brian’s “tree pipes” on facebook and being a forester I thought ” gee these are neat but I probably couldn’t afford one “When you first started the interview it dawned on me who makes them. I find out wow, they are (were )@yohooIfaffordable. And then you have him on the show exposing him and increasing the demand with a resultant increase in price. Thanks a lot buddy. Now I’ll still have ta concentrate on my Dunhill collection !Ha ha. Jeb ( Jabo)
