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!
