I have waited patiently for one of his pipes. Had to pass on some that I didn't love. Had to look past ones I loved but were sold.
The stars aligned, and this pipe looks like it will song with some Exotique or Durbar.

Appreciate it!
I rarely go for straight pipes. Not to say I don't. But they have to meet certain requirements for me. The length and weight being an important one, next to bowl size. This one was good in all aspects, and a military mount to boot.

Jess.
Comes in at 30 grams. And it doesn't appear to be smoked too much, top of bowl is still crisp, no darkening whatsoever.

Looks great from here. I love the ever-so-slightly oversize bowls on Jess's billiards. Congratulations on a long-sought acquisition. I hope it smokes well for you. Are there more pics? Don't be bashful, now. :wink:

Will do gents.
My Manz finally came in today! I had to pick my jaw up off the floor! What a fantastic pipe, just an ace of a pipe. If you have the opportunity to buy one, do so, as they are well worth it. I loaded it up with some Exotique that I got in today and it was fantastic!

That does look like a big bowl, Chubster
A group 6 or larger?
I've heard/read about these. Hope it continues to smoke as good as advertised.

Bowl wise, probably a 5, overall length is 5.3 inches and weighs only 30grams.
