I've always loved the proportions of this shape... some days it's my number one shape. Yesterday I received the update email from Smokingpipes and was quick enough to nab this beautiful and unique Parks pipe. This will without a doubt become a favorite smoker and not fall alongside some others which serve a more decorative hands-off type of pipe (ie Rasmussen). It's the most unique Park pipe I've seen up for sale. Usually the more unique ones are commissions and never hit the market.
