I see that R. Baglan is making a Lee Van Cleef Pipe.

They are made by hand so each one will be different.

I might need one of these.

Maybe in a few more paychecks I'll pick one up.

@drennan, Thank you for the info, although it almost disappointed me that it was pre -colored. im sure it would be a fun journey getting it to that color

It's pre-colored to mimic the mottled pattern in the original African Meerschaum. Turkish meerschaum doesn't color the same way.

Picky, picky, picky, but I think they ought to offer a non-pre-colored version, for the do-it-yourselfers. It would feel more authentic. I like to distress my own denim.

It would be easy enough to obtain a simple bent billiard of similar shape a see how the color develops on your own.

Well yeah, but then it's not a LVC pipe. The copy isn't really a good representation either. But some people prefer a new pipe to a used one. All the genuine LVC style pipes are used ones.

Does Lee smoke a Peterson too?

Is that a Peterson?

It's been said that its a WDC Wellington. It looks to be a correct assessment judging by the stem.

Yes, you are right. The Peterson has a straight stem.
