I finally found another of Brian's pieces for a price I thought was more than fair. I love my first pipe from him so I have been on the hunt for a while. Many I have seen were either too big or too expensive, but this one is neither. It is a large group 4 and has been well taken care of. I am psyched to finally acquire another one of his pieces.

Stunning taste as always Harris. You are building quite a cache of fine pipes. I don't know what I want more - the key to your pipe cabinet or the key to your tobacco cellar.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the nice comments. It does seem that I am getting a lot of pipes with cumberland stems lately, I just love that look. To my eye it gives the pipe a classy kind of look.

I looked real hard at that one Harris and was secretly hoping it was still there when I visit Peter in a few weeks. I think you will be pleased with the size of that one - sort of between 4-5, but with a pretty big bowl. I'm glad you got it, and thought that you wouldn't be able to pass that up.

Another beautiful pipe! I've found that sometimes the hunt is better than the prize and you find something you didn't expect. In this case, you came away with both.

Al, thanks so much for passing on it, I love the look of this one. I am glad to hear it is a 4-5 in bowl size,I thought it was a regular 4, sounds perfect.
roth, shoot me your address, would you like a few pounds of tobacco with it? :puffy:
mthanded, so true. I have been scouring my usual places for pipes for months and coming up blank. I then get a pm from Al saying he knows a guy who is selling off his collection. If Al had not messaged me, I would not have known about this guy. Ya never know where a pipe may come from and the wait was certainly worth it.

That is a keeper for sure! Nothing wrong with another outstanding Cumberland stemmed specimen added to the rotation. ;)

I Just heard of Ruthenberg for the first time today. I saw another of his pipes for sale, and I really like the look. He does great blasts, with a good choice of stain. The cumberland stems are killer too.
