PAD strikes again. I have been on the prowl for a Grant Batson, and picked one up this week. What do you think? From a style standpoint, he is hands down my favorite carver. I can't wait to find out how well it smokes though. This is my first pipe that he has carved.

I like sitters a lot, and the shank and stem treatment on this one are class A.

It looks big in the pics, but it is a smaller pipe. 5.5" long and 38grams if I recall correctly. Should be a nice clenched.

Niiiiice!
Congrats!
I've been amazed at how quick out of the gates Grant came in developing his own unique style, where you see one of his pipes and it just says Grant Batson...his elements of design can either be subtle our screamingly far out, I love the proportions of your poker, it's one of the better examples of that shape that I've seen, it sort of exudes an animated life force, I'd almost say "quiet liveliness" if you know what I mean...it's a sharp dressed pipe!
And the blast?

My God, the blast!
That's a great blast matched with a great stain - everything just works,

it pops!
Happy puffing!

Sweet. I have one somewhat similar called Texas Hold'Em. Good guy and great carver.
I still love the look and feel of my Batson Tormented Blowfish:

Peck, that Tormented Blowfish is probably my #1 wishlist pipe. Really beautiful one you got your hands on. I saw a green one Grant did called "Swamp Thing" that made my pants go crazy!

I can vouch for Grant's work. I was just smoking my "Crowned Tormented Blowfish" a few hours ago.


My first Batson pipe, which he named "Edgar", is one of my all time favorites.

Congrats on the new pipe. I am very jealous.
I like his pipes and his style. He is on the list with about 20 others of pipes to look for and maybe one day own.
