That's awesome Bradley. I haven't been online for several days and really didn't see that one. I am personal friends with John Eells and he is one hell of a pipe maker believe me. I am quite sure that pipe comes from the estate of Geoff Shepard who was a big Ashton Collector and member of CORPS in Richmond, VA.
Congrats on a fine example of John Eells' work, they don't come across the auction block very often.

Bradley, I was looking at that pipe but it was too big for me. It is awesome looking, congrats on a great pipe.
Wow, you could light that when the rice crop goes in and finish it about when it's time to harvest. Enjoy.
His pipes have a great reputation. I met John at the Richmond show two years ago but didn't know who he was until after the show. He haggled like a mercenary with me on some old GBD's, than gave me a nice deal on this Ashton that he made in Taylors shop. The pipe is stamped 3X but is much larger. Oddly, it had the tiniest bowl I've ever seen. John said he made it for flakes, but never smoked it. The bowl didn't work well with my ribbon-cut lat blends, so I sent it to George Dibos who re-drilled the bowl at 22 MM (I think it was 17 mm).
