Here's a sneak peak of a new Ryan Alden that I'm so excited about, I just had to give you folks a sneak peak.
The stummel is a mix of sandblast and smooth AND the shank is sandblasted bamboo that has been contrast stained. I can't wait to get this in my hands.
The crazy thing about Ryan's pipes is that I'm losing my comfort zone and preconceived notions about style and such. His pipes smoke so well that I'm willing to just buy one and learn. Such good stuff.
This pipe is 5 1/2 inches long and weighs 30 grams.
I'll post more pics when it arrives. I'm not sure he wants this tidbit out, but this pipe was going to the Kansas City Pipe Show but it wasn't finished, so I lucked out and conned him into selling it.
