Came home today and besides finding the repaired Hilson from Tim, found my new Pete sitting on my desk.
First flame grain in a 68 shape. Love the look and feel, about to load it up with Hal O'the Wynd here and have some "me" time.
As you guys know I'm a sucker for amber colored stems, so without further ado, here's some pics.

Nice birdseye all along the rim...

Got my scotch, got my pipe, see ya :puffpipe:

Nice looking pipe, enjoy the HOTW, which by the way seems to be an excellent blend for breaking in a pipe!

Superb pipe, Mick. I really like the look of the Rosslare line pipes. But the Flame Grain really makes the whole thing pop! Happy puffing to you.

That's a beauty! Is that a Rosslare? Looks even better up close.

So, it really does smoke as good as it looks.
Last night, Hal O' the Wynd, a good glass of scotch, my iPod and a good book. Was excellent. Pipe lasted me a good hour slowly puffing. Burned cool and very, very smooth draw. This is probably my new favorite.
Sorringowl: It's not really considered a Rosslare due to the silver band. And the Rosslares don't quite have this flame grain. Also, the Rosslares come in two finishes. Classic and Royal Irish. The Royal Irish has a silver tenon like this one:

This Rosslare classic has an acrylic tenon and a silver band, but it's a wider band. The flame grains just have a nicer briar. But they are all nice looking pipes for sure.
