Very cool looking pair.
How long are those pipes, approximately?
I know zilch about Hackert, but his pipes seem to go for quite a bit on ebay. Can you tell us a bit about him?

So very jealous right now... I've been oogling similar pipes online for days. Happy smoking and I hope the fish are biting!

Neat Hackerts. Wingenroths in PA sells them from his shop, he buys them directly from Jake (Lebanon, PA area). I believe Hackert started out making fancy corn cob pipes. I've owned two, I'd put them on par with a Boswell or David Jones (so the max I'd pay for one is around $100-$150, $300 - no way). Most of what Mel displays in his shop are in the $100 range (or they were last year).

I recently saw that video Sam and found finding pipes directly from him (even when you type his name into Google and Ebay) difficult. On the video he says he has his pipes at so and so store and Lancaster is only 1.5 hours from me so I thought about taking a ride out there one day. Have you ever been to his shop?
Lazybugger - did you commission Hackert for these pipes or did you get them second hand?
Thanks,
Dan

I commisioned them in the first week of january I believe ... this is unfortunatly how long it takes some things to get to nz sometimes ... tho they did do the trip twice lol .i just called him up and asked for 2 pipes similar to a couple on youtube and thats what he sent so while they may be pretty close to another pipe out there they are still slightoy unique. Like pretty much every dealing I have had with folk from PA , jake was awesome ... full of great info and happy to chat away and his pipes smoke well I really can recommend him . For a stubby little nosewarmer the bowl is huge and I am looking forward to the nice long bowls in winter (should be nicely broken in by then ).
