    Briarworks Bullmoose

    I’ve been itching to get my hands on one, alas all the ones that really catch my eye are gone before I can pull the trigger. I have had a Briarworks given to me before and it was a superb smoker above it’s price range IMO but it wasn’t a shape I smoke so it didn’t stay in rotation. I wouldn’t...

    My Morta Conundrum

    I second Askwith. He made my birthday bulldog morta this year and it’s a fine smoking machine. I’ll definitely be back for another from him. Also exceptionally nice to commission work from.

    1966 Dunhill LBS

    Thanks! And it is definitely a bit outside of that typical Tanshell. I’m incredibly lucky to have caught that pipe. The gentleman I do a great deal of pipe business with let me talk him out of it. Oh and it smokes every ounce as good as it looks.

    1966 Dunhill LBS

    The pictures with the much better lighting are from the gentleman I purchased her from. The first picture is as I'm making my morning cup of coffee next to the stove. Haha. I have some rather appalling lighting in the house here. She is not as red in person so there is definitely some...

    1966 Dunhill LBS

    I do love the profile of a good LBS. Though as someone else noted the first pictured pipe in the original post is a 6LB due to the saddle stem you really can't go wrong with that classic chunky english billiard. Here is my own 1957 LBS and definitely one of my prizes. :puffy:

    Quintessential Shapes by Maker

    I’m wishing I had that Lovat Al posted as we speak! Haha. Mark Tinsky really nails some great renditions of the bulldog and it’s varietals in my humble opinion. I’ve 4 and counting of his bulldogs, all excellent smokers and well cut.
