    While I was hanging out at McCranie's today, a man walked in wanting to sell some of his pipes. Amongst the lot was this nice gem. After the customer left the store, Todd McCranie handed it to me with a good price.

    For those not familiar with the private label McCranie TTT series, they were the work of three gentlemen.

    (T)om McCranies designed the shapes.

    (T)onino Jacono carved the pipes, made the stems and rusticated them.

    Bill (T)aylor Ashton blasted over Tonino's rustication, oil cured the pipes and then stained them.

    Damn, I was there today eyeing another pipe and left too early. Nice find I have three McCranie pipes and would have loved to add that to the collection.
