A bit more attention to focus would help show what it is you are doing/asking! And maybe no more than 3-4 large jpgs per post would help those on country (slow) connections.

you doent have to be victims..

Search for real pipe makers.

A pipe is not a hamburger or a Gyros .

The "experts' just take your money

I do not living from pipe making

Others living from that buisnes ,but

they are not fair at all.

Face to face, Greek way

 
To me... the perfect pipe is one that is easy for me to learn to smoke in a way that I find the most pleasing. No particular makers, no particular drilling, nor... well, I do look for comfortable bits, buttons, and slots, but that is just aesthetics to me. I have some terrible factory button pipes that I still grab daily. Also, the "look" is important to me, as well as the feel.

I have pipes that range from factory to artisan, Dunhill and Beckers to Grabows, and I enjoy all of them. Nowadays, I don't mind spending more to buy less pipes per year, to make sure they fit my own aesthetic.
Your pipe (or pipes) here look like great starts. I'll look forward to seeing how they finish out.

Define "Golden boys."
I do not find the pipe all that attractive. The bit appears out of proportion to the shank and bowl. The bit appears as unfinished and not particularly graceful to my eye. It is large and "chunky" where the bowl and shank are "Lithe" and graceful. The shank being possibly a bit short for the bowl height. The blue/white banding "breaks" the flow of the stem and disturbs my eye.
I've offered my subjective opinion because you asked. From a retail stand point it would not catch my eye in a retail store. I would bet others would find the style attractive however.

The pipe is not finished and you know that:)

I love that you anwsered ..

I love blue and some thousends too

I do not accept your critirioum

 
I was listening to an interview with one of my favorite novelists last night. And, what she said about getting published rings true with what I know of getting art into galleries, or getting your jewelry into jewelry stores... just because you've been rejected by them does not mean that there is anything wrong with your work. It's not the same as getting an F in a class. What it means is that, that particular person did not find something in you or your work that they wanted to work with on either a personal or aesthetic level. And, they have limited time and means to work with people. Editing, curating, or merchandising, are very personal relationships. And, because you were rejected by someone does not mean that there is not someone out there looking to work with someone just like you with a product just like you have. You just have to keep trying and trying and trying and... until you find that one person.
That said, being someone who can take direction, someone who is personable in the way that fits with them, and (once again) makes the very thing that they are looking for is important.
Ha ha, but having taught people my skills in jewelry, I get asked occasionally, "how do I become rich at this?" I just laugh, scratch my head, look around at my ragtag studio, and tell them that I am the wrong person to ask. "Ask a rich jeweler, ha ha."
