Hello from Sheffield, England -
I was a keen pipe smoker up until a few years ago, when health issues made me very reluctantly put aside my pipes and tobacco, meaning that I now have various inactive pipes and tins of unsmoked blends. I've always been an admirer of Jens 'Tao' Nielsen's pipes, and I managed some years ago to snag one of them on a well-known auction site. I never smoked it myself, as the bowl was a bit bigger than I like, plus it seemed a shame actually to use the pipe, as it's certainly the fanciest that I own! It's somewhat unusual for a Tao, I think, in that it is quite big, and the grading is given by a '7' rather than using the letters that seem to be his standard system. Here is a link to some photos of the pipe - photos of the pipe on Google drive. It's not a great deal of use to me now, so I'm tempted to sell it, but I'm not sure what sort of value it has, nor what would be the best way of selling it. Any advice or information about the pipe very gratefully received!
All best,
Dominic
