So I got my last Herreria Pipe a few days ago.
This one completes a two pipe set. Both unfinished.
I'm very happy with it.
What do you think?
Ezequiel Hereria is a a great artisan. Check his work out:

Looks great. I love the clean aesthetic and contrasting colors. How do you like the stems -- in the photos they look rather thick, but steeply tapered, which can sometimes make all the difference (in a good way).
Off to check out his site...

Pitchfork, his stem work is impeccable. The bits are extremely comfortable and very well designed.
As you said, they are steeply tapered, and they are also quite wide laterally.

So they are wide and thin, which I like a lot.
Yes, check his work out. I think you will like what he does.
Cheers,
J

Thank you very much guys!
So far I've only started to seriously break-in the darker one. It smoked very nice from the very beginning.
The way he drills his pipes makes for a perfect, effortless smoke.

As Sablebrush pointed out on another post, the draft hole meets the chamber at its very bottom and at its exact center. Kinda like a Falcon or a straight Peterson System (31).

You get to smoke ALL the tobacco an the pipe stays lit without requiring much attention.

And the stem work is unbelievably good. The slot, the taper on the bit and its width, and the button are remarkably nice.
If this one is representative of his work, I believe the other two are going to be very good also and Ezequiel Herreria will have a new fan and patron.
Thanks again and cheers,
J
