I spent this evening exchanging emails with the man himself. This, to me, was a new experience. I've never even bought a new pipe much less commissioned one. He had me scroll through his photos to pick a shape at which point he gave me my color options for pipe/stem. His pipes are defaulted to a size 5, but I requested the largest 6 he was okay with doing. To sort through photos and pick a shape is seriously difficult!! Not wanting to drag my flip flopping on and occupy too much of his time, I forced myself to pick quickly. And so I chose the shape pictured below , in a size 6, in black with an amber stem. You then pay 50% of the price and be patient and forget about till August/September 2015. This again is harder than it sounds.
