Mighty fine. Two real classics here. Ten years from now, even better!

Thanks everyone! And that Neerup is really a good smoke, the bowl is so thick it barely warms the hands. :puffy:

Congrats on those new pipes. That Neerup looks gorgeous Rig, glad to hear that it is a good smoker.

I've said it quite often here I believe, that I don't like rustication or sandblasts... but every time I see one of those Neerups like that one there, I want one more and more. I love the contrasting colors in the stain. Beautiful pipes both of them. I hope they smoke great for you. :)

Oh hot damn, those are nice! Happy Birthday, btw.
Have you smoked the Neerup yet? I have been thinking of getting one if I can find one light enough.

I'm glad you like the Neerup, because I just bought one too, as an early birthday present to myself. Yours looks fantastic. The ripples are pretty cool. Enjoy it! Mind if I ask what you've smoked in it so far?

The Neerup is much lighter than it looks, lighter in fact than the Peterson, and the chambers are roughly the same size. I have enjoyed some Luxury Navy Flake and McClelland Stave Aged Virginia in the Neerup, which has a fine, open draw. It hangs very easily in the jaw too, btw.

It was tough choosing the Neerup, as there was also a Neerup Acorn and a Ball to choose from as well. Great looking pipes all.
The Pete 502 is like a large apple, with a very thick chamber wall, almost 1/4", yet the chamber is very deep. I have tried both Stave Aged 35 and Frog Morton Cellar in this one. The draw on the Pete is phenomenal.

Bad-ass, the bottom one stole my heart, not quite bent enough for me, but for that pipe I'll make an exception :)

The Neerup is a damn fine pipe for the price. I am looking to get another for Christmas!
