This pipe is outstanding, from very 1st smoke (chose Solani's Silver Flake). If you are looking for a cutty, I highly suggest giving Mark a call ;-)

Nice, but were you on the waiting list? That is one long list...wonder how fast he can turn a pipe out?

I'm not a huge fan of pipes stained red, but that one really wears it well.
Great looking pipe.

I wasn't on the waiting list, if you check his site from time to time,

he puts up a few up for-sale...if you like it/pull the trigger fast because

they don't last long
I know the pictures make it look more red, but "in person" she

has a sweet reddish-to-brown looking effect going on

Just looked at his site. Some beautiful work there and his prices seem to be very reasonable. I'll definitely bookmark him for future PAD. Thanks for bringing him to our attention.

Thanks brother, I also had been having major PAD over the

poker-shapes as well and IMHO Mark hits a home run with the

shape and finishes....was thinking about the

110 Balkovec "P3" Pedone Pocket Pipe with metal banding

for my next PAD purchase

Nice looking pipe. Almost an exact replica of Tom Eltang's rusticated cutty. Always wanted one of those.

Thanks Brother, I had also been looking at an Eltang Cutty for awhile as well. I found that Mark's version really hit it home with the rim finish and being much more stout

Here is the P3-Pedone that will get the next PAD attack;

Great choice… I almost pulled the trigger on it myself, in fact I went back to Mark's site to buy it and you had already beaten me to it. Well done... Enjoy!
